Global Geo-political Socialism by Kgdavid(m): 5:08pm On Sep 05, 2011
ello house, the issue i wish to discuss is something that i have chosen to call global geo-political socialism. i coined the term myself btw. the question i ask is why do we need visas to travel to other countries and permits to stay there? at first this might appear to be a non issue because we're all used to things being that way but the truth is things ought not to be that way. the first point i would like to draw your attention to is that by mandating visas and permits for non indigenes of a particular state one of the most basic human rights has been violated, the right to freedom of movement! without going into the exact stipulation on freedom of movement i think the principle behind it is of greater importance and that is the foundation of my argument. every single human being was born where they were by chance and did nothin to earn the piece of earth where they were born. therefore it is/or should be legally wrong to stake a claim over any entire region of the world and call it "our country". think about it, on what basis is a country formed? if every country was formed on the basis of being a nation it would make a bit more sense but as it is most countries are composed of several nations and others of almost no distinct nation at all, take for example nigeria, a country with at least three major nations or the united states of america which is composed of fragments of so many different nations that it is hard to point at any one in particular but if one had to then certainly native americans would be the real american nation which basically reinforces the point. the migration of other nations to north america led to the dis enfranchisement of the native indians and the establishment of the united states of america as we now know it. in fact this is not peculiar to any specific country but most nations across africa are comprised of nations which migrated across several regions till they arrived at where they are today. migration has always been a part of human life untill the border controls became more stringent. now the rationale behind stringent border controls is to prevent over-population in wealthier countries which in turn has its own effects but the question here is not really one of absolute right and wrong but really its a question of the greater or lesser of two evils. in this case i think it is perfectl obvious which of the evils is much greater, looking at it from a religious standing, God made the earth for everyone and therefore it behooves us all to share our mutual gift, the earth. politically we all seem to agree that democracy is the way but the principle behind border controls is a contravention of one of the most basic tenets of modern day democracy as defined by the americans, the pursuit of happiness. a human being should be free to wander the globe in pursuit of whatsoever would bring him/her personal happiness without being inhibited by border controls except he or she has a proven negative agenda. i have more thoughts on how the system should run practically but i would end up writing all day, plz share your thoughts on this
