Well, exactly. What does this passage have to do with "delinking"? It's a relinking, or a new kind of linking from the capitalist kind. It doesn't seem to have much to do with "national sovereignty," which, as Patrick's frequently cited models (Smith's Rhodesia and apartheid SA) show, has often abominable associations.
