American Sovereignty
The biggest problem I have with his post is that it seems to be ill-informed about the creation of nation-states. Nation-states grew out of the rise of the middle class, and that was a direct result of the accumulation of wealth (primarily through trade and banking). Without corporations, feudalism would never have died, because wealth would still be in the hands of the nobility.
