>i don't believe in borders and if you believe in the free market then you shouldn't either

"Free" doesn't necessarily mean unregulated or without limitations. If you want to scrap a norm as old as borders there's going to be a dazzling amount of fallout given that the people that built nations were led to believe that they were building collective homes for themselves rather than mere "markets" for global corporations.

Utopian optimism about Big Changes, like tech had in the early days (before the reality of mass surveillance, algorithmic perception manipulation, online mobs, etc. emerged) tends to be proven wrong.

If some small country wants to test open borders then great, but this idea that some Big Change will be so beneficial that we should push for its widespread implementation without testing is kinda nutty.
