| The Problem on Nationalism | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I talked with many Islamists and "New Leftists" who want total | |
| change from a capitalist democratic into a distributive | |
| socialist society, they are afraid of a nation-state system. | |
| Because it can be resulting capitalism and a competitive society | |
| being reinstated again by the classes of people who do not want | |
| to be responsible for their actions when we help them win and | |
| control the state. A society which divided because of its | |
| nation-state systems can make them potentially war against each | |
| other. Remember about how Western Civilization creates | |
| unnecessary inter-society war with their nationalist doctrine. | |
| We must reassess our nationalist sentiment. | |

| Nationalism implies autarky, exclusively state-issued fiat | |
| currency and exclusively barter-based foreign trade. All these | |
| are antithetical to capitalism. Did you not explain this to | |
| them? | |

| That's the ideal of using nation-state as a tool to implement | |
| socialism, I already say it to them. But they don't have | |
| solutions if the corrupt and westernized people retake the | |
| national state to be used by them for their own interest, used | |
| to implement back capitalist darwinian society, based on natural | |
| selection... | |

| Even if you started off with just one state for the whole world, | |
| capitalists could still retake that and then re-implement | |
| capitalism. But if we start off with multiple states, then if | |
| they retake one first and re-implement capitalism there, the | |
| others can militarily invade that one and thus prevent | |
| capitalism from spreading. | |
| Let's say there is a 0.5 probability of any state being retaken | |
| by capitalists each year. If we had only one state, then there | |
| is a 0.5 probability of that state being retaken. But if we had | |
| two states, then there would be 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 probability of | |
| both being retaken that year. Thus having two states is safer | |
| than having only one. And so on. | |
| This is similar to spreading out farms so that if a farm in one | |
| location has a bad harvest, at least we can compensate with a | |
| farm in another location having a good harvest (and which can | |
| then transport the food to the bad harvest location), thereby | |
| reducing the risk of famine. | |
| Another example: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_floodability | |
| [quote]Development of watertight compartments continued during | |
| the Song dynasty in China. The watertight compartments were | |
| there to ensure that if one part of the ship was leaking, the | |
| ship itself would not sink. [/quote] | |
| Even capitalists understand this principle: | |
| https://www.wealthify.com/blog/why-you-shouldn-t-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket | |
| [quote]Basically, if you invest in just one company, you're | |
| solely relying on it to do well � and as we know, the markets go | |
| up and down, and they can be impacted by many factors, like news | |
| events, and market and economic trends. | |
| 'Diversifying' your portfolio means investing in a range of | |
| assets (like stocks, bonds, commodities, and property, and | |
| indexes from around the world (such as the UK's FTSE 100 or the | |
| S&P 100 in the US), as a way to spread your risk. This means | |
| that any poorly performing investments could be balanced out by | |
| ones that are doing better, and local events (like Brexit) could | |
| have less of an impact.[/quote] | |
| (Of course, as we bring down the world population in a | |
| controlled way, then we will gradually need fewer and fewer | |
| states in total. Hopefully we will simultaneously be Aryanizing | |
| the remaining population, and thus reducing the risk of hostile | |
| usurpation that way. Towards the end of Aryanization, we should | |
| be safe enough even with only one state. But the mistake to | |
| avoid is to jump the gun to one state before the racial quality | |
| of the population is high enough.) | |
