Why nations are necessary

Do you want your laws to be defined by people in Nigeria?  Do you think people in Nigeria want their laws to be defined by you?

Given that the vast majority of humanity doesn't want to be ruled by strangers from a different culture it's clear that people want to have control of their own laws.

If you doubt that you've just declared that you support European colonialism.  After all Britain running India is pretty much the same as the UN, or whatever new nationless international order people want to rule the world after nations are abolished, running India.

All the leftist voices who condemn nationalism are really saying that a self identified elite--ie leftists-- know better than anyone else how everyone in the world should live and hence that group should have complete power over everyone.  Pretty much the same reasoning the various European colonial powers used.

Any move to abolish nations is a move to abolish representative government. Think about it; in the US each Senator represents millions of people and every Congressman represents hundreds of thousands.  Since even in one Congressional district the people have a wide spectrum of beliefs that means that the politicians aren't really representing the people so much as representing some nonexistent "average" person.  For example in every district there are people who are pro-life and people who are pro-abortion.  Yet their Congressman and Senator can only vote one way on the issue of abortion thereby not representing all the people who support the other position.

But moving to a global government would mean that each representative would be representing an even more diverse group which means that the "average" would be over an even greater diversity of views which in turn means that even fewer people would be represented.

This doesn't bother the globalists because they really hate the idea of democracy.  They believe that they, the self identified elites, should rule over the rest of us ignorant bumpkins.  Hence anything that removes power from people and transfers it to the ruling elite--the politicians and the unelected bureaucrats who make the rules the people must follow--is good in the eyes of the left.

Nations are good because they allow culture groups to rule themselves and not be forced to conform to the dictates of different cultures.  In fact when we look at the problem areas in the world one of the primary sources of conflict are when countries encompass multiple cultures.  This is primarily visible in Africa and the Middle East where the European colonial powers created new countries which contained multiple cultures but we see it in places like Canada where there is clear tension between French speaking Quebec and the rest of Canada.

In fact we see it in the US today where there is a huge divide between the culture of the ruling elites in DC and the rest of America.

While it's true that nations can start wars it's also true that a global dictatorship--which is what any world government would have to be if it enforced uniform laws on all people--would in all likelihood commit mass murder against it's own people if for no other reason that to impose the dictates of the ruling elites.

So next time you hear some leftists blathering about globalism and why nations are bad realize that what they're really saying is that Nigerians shouldn't decide what laws they have but that the "elites" should have the power to force Nigerians to follow the laws that the "elites" know to be best. Then remember that that is exactly what the European countries said about their colonies.
