What is /pol/'s opinion on city-states? I see it as the natural form of society for human beings, being the tribal species we are. I think disintegrating the modern nation-state into a union of independant city-states would greatly improve society.

what about us rural and suburban retards that voted for trump?
t. tribalist
maybe for shitskins and niggers, but white people excel at building civilizations
I think it's better than the nation-state and vastly better than the empire in theory, but the problem is having enough military force to not get taken over by a nation state or empire.

Either do it or don't do it.
How are you going to make it happen OP?
Stop with the pipe dreams.
Aside from that they are a great unit size to deal with.
The individual nations of Europe are better however. You need a bit of space around.

The only problem is that literally all cities in the world that could hypothetically exist as a city-state are bastions of multiculturalism.
City life degenerates man.

There is nothing preventing city-states from forming unions, economic agreements, military agreements, etc...
The whole problem is centralized power, I think the modern nation-state has to be the most despicable political cuckery in the history of mankind, the people are totally deprived of autonomy and self-determination, the government actually benefits when communities, townships, cities are totally ripped apart and incapable of cooperation at a tribal level, as it increases their dependence upon the nanny state for everything. The total individualization and atomization of modern western civilization is a result of an over-centralization of power, a faith in a sort of transcendental, immaterial "government" which takes care of all your personal needs, when this should be entrusted rather to a close community, not some faceless body of bureaucrats. It's inhuman the way we live now.

So the farmers who work the fields would be free to sell there crops to a different city state for a higher price?

Terrible idea.
sucks all the wealth of the country into one concentrated spot. City States become a hive of Statism and Mercantilism,
0/10 would not bang

Remove central power and the cities will become sane again, it is only because many cities are totally propped up by government programs that they behave the way they do. If they must suddenly become self-sufficient, they will suddenly become more conservative.

Of course not, you sell the produce to the city, and the city exports the extra for a higher price :^)

The modern nation-state does the exact same thing but on an even larger scale, and with even worse consequences. You will have a much larger impact on society, and a much louder voice, if the society is limited to the scope of a city and its zone of general influence.
Why a rural trapper needs to pay taxes to fund the widening of a highway two hundred kilometers away, that he may never even see in his lifetime, makes no sense.

I agree, we would just need sea access and a couple nuke subs as a deterrent in case they try to Jew us.

The rich will live in the center with the outside edges being where the poor live.
Brilliant that way and warring city's will have to fight there way through the riff raff before getting to the rich!
