These same signs are prevalent in Belize, and I witnessed them all last week, since an election there is on the horizon. It confirmed my sense that the nation-state has largely outlived its usefulness and is on its last legs everywhere as our unsustainable civilization nears its inevitable collapse. Outside of Europe, which has problems of its own, the balanced-economy model that allows both government and individual enterprise to each do what they do best, seems to have been given up as hopelessly idealistic.
