    If some wealthy people want to push for independence more power to them. Honestly, they should be separated and independent from the US after a payment of a couple of trillion dollars of reparations, of course.

    I would like to point out that unless they plan on creating a new form of government they will just fall neatly into the fascist trap the rest of the world has fallen in. I don’t think wealthy pop icons are going to slit their own throats.

    So it really isn’t about anti-colonial at this point as it is about anti-corporations. We need to move our mindset beyond the 20th century if we ever expect to break free as a people.

      Just responding to the last part: I’d say anti-colonial basically is anti-corporate. Look at the Dutch East India Company.

        Fair enough. I just think it is important to point out we are transitioning into a post-nation world ran by a corporatocracy which is the evolution of the fascist corporatism.

        I am fond of saying no nation on this planet deserves the human race. Perhaps one will be someday.
