I’m flattered to hear Ryan Calhoun read this thing that I wrote. Of course it is wrong for nations to pursue their self-interest in anything, and especially in border control policies. People have interests that matter, morally; nations do not. Everyone deserves to be free of all controls, all borders and all nations. For anyone committed to liberation, a nation’s “interests” deserve no notice at all, except to trample them underfoot. #AbolishBorders #DestroyAllNations #EndInternationalApartheid

Karl Hess in LIBERARIAN CONNECTION, February 1969. Here you go. As promised. Happy 2015! http://ift.tt/1ycLGY9 “Many interested in revolution today are dismayed by the fact that some who advocate revolutionary actions (such as SDS) do not have goals in the sense that other revolutions had them. . . . Revolution today must be against such goals. Revolution today must be against the state and not for any form of state. Revolution today must have as its goal the abolition of every agency of power which can or would be able to force standards, goals, or any arbitrarily normative values upon persons who do not voluntarily hold or seek such . . . . “Revolutionary action today not only should not have but could not have a goal in the established sense of the word. There are no revolutions left in the framework of the old goals. They’ve all been tried . . . Revolutionary action, to repeat, must avoid goals, not seek them. Revolution for revolution’s sake is quite a proper stance when it is taken to overthrow the very concept of the state and of citizenship, the very concept of drudge-slavery to *any* or *anybody’s* ‘system’ in which the force of life is sacrificed to a life of force. Every other position is merely repititious [sic], reformist, and counter-revolutionary.”
