Nationalism, Planetarism, World Wide Web

The recent U. S. election and Brexit seem to be indicative of a Nationalist resistance to Trans-Nationalism.  However, the Trans-Nationalism of these is primarily Capitalist Globalism.  Instead, a more pervasive Planetary phenomenon is the World Wide Web, which constitutes a de facto cosmo-community.  Accordingly, a better indication of the current Nationalism-Planetarism antagonism is the increasingly familiar sight of people walking around absorbed in mobile telecommunication devices, oblivious to immediate spatio-temporal events.  It will be in the resolution of this conflict that the concrete transition to a Cosmopolity, likely to take centuries, will consist in, of which traditional 'political' phenomena will be derivative manifestations, e. g. the arrival at a settled universal Economic system.
