I don't feel like debating nationalism too much more, but I would like to nix 
the idea that liberation lies in the hands of 'working people'.  People are 
people, and, given what passes for 'work', it should be kept to a minimum, not 
glorified by supposed liberators. I think in a better world people will spend 
their time living, loving, daydreaming, doing something creative...  virtually 
all of which tend to be negated by 'work'.

 In fact, much more than nationalism, the idea of 'work' as being somehow 
connected to liberation is fairly specific to the capitalist world system 
(rooted in Adam Smith himself!), is one of its most malign products, and 
urgently needs to be 'unthought.'
