Is the nation state a dangerous anachronism?
Nation States are the continous excuse used to carry Mass-Murder and other crimes against a group of people, and just willn’t go away. Even better now we have Universities teaching that the concept is a Good thing for so many, and seem to be determined like the next group will do it right. however, everywhere it shows up in the world get about the same result as it did in Nazi-Germany, a few million die, get stripped of the wealth, creates mass exodus for the lucky, but we keep trying Croatia, Bosnia, Burundi, Rwanda, Sri-Lanka, and I guess Uganda has problems, the Sudan (Darfur). and I’m sure this list can continue some more. But in any of the cases the leaders have to pick a date in history to say this group of people are one Nation and another date of history to claim what their Land is, to create the fiction of a Nation. Funny is at the same time genectics keeps showing us how we are really all linked from the same people.
