Well, it turns out that nations were better than what preceded them at keeping their citizens safe.  I even suspect (but I am not a historian) that they were better at cutting down on wars (though the wars were more serious when they happened).<p>So if you want nations not to exist, the burden is on you to come up with something <i>better</i>.  &quot;No nations&quot; can look like what used to be Somalia, or what used to be Afghanistan.
