Entry: Authority Issues -- Is There Sovereignty Beyond the State? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/authority_issues_is_there_sovereignty_beyond_the_state#32792 Post contents: Anti-[national]sovereignty is far, far too submissive to the EU, UN and other such super-sovereignties' expansionary ambitions. In the nature of the case, the nation-state is the one worldly grouping which can literally command loyalty. The anarcho-libertarian may hate the nation-state, but what if this means that he senses that he needs a sovereign society, which will be loyal also to him, not just leave him floating as food for sharks? Some people are more likely to be outside and at odds with those within, when the blood is in the water. Is sedition conservative? The state is at minimum, a device to command loyalty of citizens to each other, when foreigners enter via aggression. If this basic feature is resented, doesn't that indicate a wish for freedom-FOR-aggression, and hatred aginst true freedom? That one-worlder enemies of national sovereignty and national loyalties, would have allies among permanently powerless anarcho-libertarians is to be expected. How else to appeal to the powerful, but to try and join a pincer movement against the obstacles to unlimited power-greed? Sent at: 2008 12 02
