"It Is Often Said That The Nation-state Is Concerned With The Fate Of The Common People. This Is Not
"It is often said that the nation-state is concerned with the fate of the common people. This is not true.
Rather, it is the national governor of the worldwide capitalist system, a vassal of the capitalist modernity which is more deeply entangled in the dominant structures of the capital than we usually tend to assume: It is a colony of the capital.
Regardless how nationalist the nation-state may present itself, it serves to the same extent the capitalist processes of exploitation. There is no other explanation for the horrible redistribution wars of the capitalist modernity.
Thus the nation-state is not with the common people – it is an enemy of the peoples.
Relations between other nation-states and international monopolies are coordinated by the diplomats of the nation-state.
Without the recognition by other nation-states none of them could survive. The reason can be found in the logic of the world-wide capitalist system. Nation-states which leave the phalanx of the capitalist system will be overtaken by the same fate that the Saddam regime in Iraq experienced or it will be brought to its knees by means of economic embargoes."
— Abdullah Öcalan
