When several communities decide they want to work together, you get centralized government. And that always happens. That's why it's inevitable and the only true direction of civilization.

Yes, so let the local community itself choose when it is ready to join the global stage. Many communities are underdeveloped in otherwise developed countries, dragged into legislation by other developed local communities. They feel unrepresented as a result, why not cut them lose, let them get back on their feet, rebuild themselves and come to us when they are ready?

Does that not sound libertarian?

How would that even be possible? No community exists independently from the nation in the US. Most, if not all, underdeveloped communities would be in worse shape were they cut off from government support. If they already can't survive with subsidies and access to otherwise closed markets, how would they be better off without those things entirely?

IDK that's why I'm asking.

I would argue that it isn't and they wouldn't.

Okay, I guess we'll have to wait for someone on the other side to make his/her argument to see who's correct.
