Borders

Borders aren't real. They're a fabrication that allows powerful people to extract wealth from the other side while preventing the people there from moving across in the same direction to share the extracted wealth. In today's version of borders, "free trade" allows corporations to operate wherever they find the best deal, while most workers are kept out of the richer nations through immigration laws and prejudice against immigrants. That's the main function of borders, which really exist only on maps, and they're bullshit.
