Can I agree with the OP, but still not read the blog?  Cheesy

I was making a similar point with an example in the bryant coleman immigration thread.

Pacific Islanders are trying to leave their island for a higher ground, as the sea levels are becoming too high to make the place properly habitable any more. But they're being prevented from doing so because they're "official nobodies". They have no documentation relating to themselves at all, they're just a tiny tribe living on an island, who all know each other and up until now had no reason to come into contact with people who they don't know personally.

How can it be right that people like this are being put in this position? Remove these artificial barriers, we can get from one side of the planet to the other in less than a day. Nations and their borders have no place in a truly civilised world.

Marxists would say that capitalism, property rights, and nationalism (a nation is a large property) go hand in hand.

Citizenship is a way for people to deny other people rights that they themselves enjoy based on geographical coordinates of birth in relation to geographical coordinates of imaginary, arbitrary lines on maps. This is an irrelevant, unjust and counterproductive separation of people. This discrimination is holding back civilisation, prosperity and freedom for all.

Agreed


Why do we act like its not okay to deny people rights based on skin color but it is okay to deny people rights based on birthplace? Both are completely accidental maters that the person being discriminated against has no control over that it is unfair and absurd to reward or punish people for. Both are irrelevant and harmful criteria by which to divide people.

objection, to the use of 'we'. Some do, but I would argue most individuals given sufficient freedom don't, whereas most governments and corporations do

Wider adoption of bitcoin is one step toward ending the discrimination of citizenship. How important of a step is it? Well how important is money?

Agreed, hopefully it will lead to an end to borders; we can live in hope.
