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.

2/3 of which would be in the Global South.

And that's why the borders exist in the first place. The point of money is not wealth, but wealth disparity. Money gives you power over those with less, and borders help enforce that disparity. The poverty is a feature, not a bug.

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.
