With regard to countries... it was a short few decades ago when the left used to clamor and demand self-determination of countries and anti-imperialism.

But today we see exactly the opposite. That countries do not have a right for self determination and that unelected bodies can dictate form afar what countries should do whether or not they are signatories to an agreement or not. That imposition of extra national law is imperialism --not by a country but by elite leadership. If we were to vote democratically from one global pool of voters, would we agree to what the masses from those countries vote for?
