      only problem is, it’s difficult to draw more unhinged borders for this balkanization than the existing state borders.

      so we cant really make funny images like they like to make about a balkanized china or russia

      This was the founders’ real original vision, and probably a better idea. A loose collection of individual nations with open borders among themselves and a shared currency. Fed was supposed to administer commerce and settle disputes between the states exclusively, but of course it’s been expanding ever since it was instituted.

      It would, however, be lovely to live at least some small part of my life not in a system purposely tilted toward slaveowners. Like, what if each and every person was allowed exactly one vote in how to do things?
