The differences between people on either side of those lines are meaningless. We are all the same. Countries have evolved over the past few centuries from empires and kingdoms. And those were created in order to maintain power and control. Wanting some people to maintain power and control over other people seems to be against the idea of objectivism, which I thought was anti-collectivism. Ayn Rand's philosophy was formed based on her experiences in the Soviet Union, and it was an attempt to reject those experiences. But modern nation states overreach with surveillance and regulatory bloat. We really do need to reexamine everything and figure out how to start over from scratch, using the Internet as a global communication system akin to a nervous system.
Word salad is all we have, because we can't communicate directly.
