Entrenched national divisions=utopian vision--I always forget that!

Instead of combining some national distinctions, why not just destroy them all? You want East Asia to be more like the EU, but are Asian workers really pleading for restrictive deficit targets and anti-inflation vigilantism? By positing Asia and Europe as counterweights to the US, aren't you revealing that your objections to American capitalism are purely aesthetic?
