At the turn of the century, during the movement against capitalist globalization, we used to say that it was a travesty that products could move across national borders more easily than human beings.

The solution is not to impose more controls on products as well as on human beings.

The tariffs are not intended to benefit the United States economy, nor the capitalist class as a whole. They chiefly benefit Donald Trump and his lackeys, functioning as a tool with which they can punish adversaries and negotiate for personal gain.

This is a hallmark of authoritarian rule.

The arbitrary and autocratic state policy exemplified by these tariffs is emerging as a consequence of the tremendous disparities in wealth and power that the neoliberal world order produced.

The solution is not to try to go back to neoliberalism, but to abolish capitalism.

"Before 1914, the earth had belonged to all. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased. There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914, I travelled from Europe to India and America without a passport and without ever having seen one."

-Stefan Zweig

Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.

The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.

These institutions are neither timeless nor beneficial nor inevitable.

🌞 Based Solarpunk person of the day:

P. Fanciulli, a fisherman from Tuscany, Italy, placed dozens of statues underwater to make it practically impossible to do bottom trawling (an illegal fishing practice which destroys ecosystems).

In order to stop the illegal boats, in the years he has impersonated coast guards, used sirens, barbed wire, and underwater explosions.
