In my comments to Gareth's post below, I mentioned the Continental European ideology of the organic nation-state, and its antipathy to the Anglosphere idea of the civic state based on networks of free association of self-directed individals. By fortunate coincidence Mitch Townsend has put up an excellent post over at Chicago Boyz with some interesting examples of the Continental philosophy. I won't say anything more lest I spoil the ending.
But do read the whole thing.
