    I am pro US balkanization. It would help make the US less of a global pest if the states are too busy fighting each other

      only problem is, it's difficult to draw more unhinged borders for this balkanization than the existing state borders.

      so we cant really make funny images like they like to make about a balkanized china or russia

          Only problem is Hawaii under China instead of finally independent

      This was the founders' real original vision, and probably a better idea. A loose collection of individual nations with open borders among themselves and a shared currency. Fed was supposed to administer commerce and settle disputes between the states exclusively, but of course it's been expanding ever since it was instituted.

      It would, however, be lovely to live at least some small part of my life not in a system purposely tilted toward slaveowners. Like, what if each and every person was allowed exactly one vote in how to do things?
