I was thinking about how the idea of some form of secession of states is always discussed in some really silly right-wing fantasy contexts but has there been any discourse in leftist circles about this? Especially in terms of the completely broken political system.

Otherwise is this a completely stupid idea on its face? Either way I'm just interested to hear about people's thoughts.

    Nuclear weapons make it pretty hard to visualize. I can''t imagine a way that different nuclear sites landing in the hands of opposing quasi-states in a hot war could ever end well.
