And lest someone think this is some hippy-dippy bullshit that will cause all kinds of problems, eliminating national borders would add $100 TRILLION to the global GDP, 2/3 of which would be in the Global South.
Borders must be abolished to sustain the capacity for life to exist, not to aid in the continuation of capitalism. Capitalism is a reactionary death cult maintained by hyper-exploitating all forms of life.
Even Marx thought that capitalism was an improvement over earlier systems, and he might be correct. But like religion - which helped people cooperate at larger scales than a tribe - it has reached a point where the evils that it inflicts on the world far outweigh any past benefits.
