#1 Gee, I wonder what sort of government they see? Who do you assume will get to be "Top Dog"?

Do you think there'll be a state (continental) religion?

#2 "Open borders" simply rearranges people back into their old tribes with their loyalties to those tribes and not any trans-national entity.

#3 Yes, and that way you only have to deal with the tribal leaders/elders and not the rabble.

#4 If they were serious and not just power-hungry communists they would be working for an ever increasing free-trade zone and strong regional alliances. It does make sense for the south part of the continent to be well integrated, but I don't think any "Progressive internationalism" is going to work well for anyone except their own leadership.

#5 In simple economic terms, the inland African states would greatly benefit from free-trade arrangements. They suffer heavily by being isolated from world markets by their sea-port-possessing neighbors' tariffs, customs corruption, and regulation.

On the other hand, a relatively-well-governed country like Botswana has got to think twice about lashing itself to the roiling, gigantic mess that is today's South Africa.

#6 "Borderless" Amerika under OWG come 2015 or ASAP afterward.

The Globalists + aligned need to justify extra/post-Nationalist, higher levels of governance-n-authority, preferably widout such silly things as need for popular or nationwide electoral referendum(s) or obeying the US Constitution, etc.

Zero-Sum had sex wid Chaos Theory + from their unholy union begat their kiddies "Globalism",
"MultiPolarity", + Marxist-Communitarianism/
Communist Capitalism [Commpitalism]. among other.

* E.g. see also BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Hurriyet Daily News] AS [100-year old] BORDERS EXPIRE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

D *** NG IT, "BORDERS" + "SOVEREIGNTY" IS JUST SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO YEAR 2000 = POST-MILLENIAL = OBSOLETE, AKA "QUAINT".
