A properly dialectical irony, no? This is one of those seemingly minor points which conceal massive, planetary opportunities: the 21st century is the first moment in human history when most people on the planet have their own states -- or more bluntly, aren't being crushed under the Iron Heel of imperial or neo-imperial autocracies (British, French, Iberian, US, Soviet). Which is why one of the central issues of the transnational era is how to build and expand developmental states, a.k.a. economic democracy.
