Countries:
"The largest patterns of industrialization will never be done in terms of countries. The idea of ‘countries’ was never more than a convenience to the Great Pirates, the men of power who divide and conquer. The Great Pirate is glad to have everyone speaking different languages and all those things…
“The little countries can’t possibly do it. It’s very nice in a sense for their inferiority complexes for these countries to be recognized-- to get in the UN and get a democratic voice. But the UN is really quite pathetic… While they are doing everything parliamentarily, they are just inching. They are glacial; they can’t keep up at all with what is necessary to make our world work… Their talking and procedures will just be years behind the emergencies and unable to cope with them.”
