Is the ‘Post-National State’ even possible?

With ‘post-national’ elites preening their virtue over how badly government treats migrants by imposing such burdensome requirements as legally acquiring immigrant status, one is given to wonder if anyone has bothered to think through the idea of the ‘Post-National State’? The ‘Post-National State’ is an oxymoron. It’s one of those ideas that George Orwell’s 1984 so brilliantly illustrates, in which people committedly believe two polar opposites at the exact same time. Let’s begin with the concept of ‘Post-National.’ It isn’t one you are likely to find in too many dictionaries. But getting a feeling for the dictionary meaning of ‘Post,’ in the sense of “after,” and of ‘National,’ in the sense of a culturally, geographically, politically or ethnically delineated jurisdiction. So, the ‘Post-National’ concept posits that countries and borders are irrelevant and redundant.
