Imagine No Countries

by Kim Petersen

Most progressives would probably agree that in many contexts "blind, unquestioning faith" in a president or other person is "foolish and obsequious." In this respect, Ken Sanders was right on in his recent article "Love Your Country? Demand Impeachment." Sanders considered such faith to be "contrary to the fundamental principles of this country, as set forth in the Constitution." Sanders instead advocated patriotism, which he defined as demanding "truth and honesty." To be brutally honest, "this country" that Sanders loves is an occupied, ethnically cleansed, annexed, conquered, or illegitimately purchased landmass referred to by the colonialists as the United States of America. A landmass birthed so inauspiciously might give pause to professions of love by many self-designated liberals or progressives. The landmass of the United States of America is a betrayal of the rights of first settlement and represents the theft and occupation of the territory from its Original Peoples. So, historically, it is difficult to grasp "the promise" of what such a landmass "stands for"; certainly, it is a demonstration that military might can translate to territorial expansion through genocide....
