While borders can often work to inhibit the movement of goods and human beings, they can also offer opportunities for greater freedom by limiting the power and reach of existing states.
What a splendid point! We Need More Borders and More States says Ryan McMaken. Anarchism and Radical Decentralization Are the Same Thing is another message from the same author. I could not agree more. The following passage is from the American Declaration of Independance:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ...
I agree. Let us abolish government. We don't even have to institute a new one.
