There's a big difference between a "nation" and a "state." The former is a country, while the latter is a coercive apparatus. A capitalist enterprise can lack national loyalty or even a national identity (and that's what I think the apocryphal quote says) while relying on state coercion in each country or nation to maintain order, protect capitalist property rights, etc. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
