According to "FUNKTIONARY:
homeless - the informationally disenfranchised and in many cases also the psychologically disengaged. The streets may belong to the people, but they make less than ideal places to live. In the cold the homeless look for the “grate” outdoors.

nation - (natural) a historically evolved stable community of people formed on the basis of a common language, a common territory, a common psychological makeup and worldview manifested in a common culture and common economic life. Sekou Sunidiata once said this about Blackfolk in America, that we are: "A nation within a nation in search of a nationality."
Nation - (law) a legal fiction (Corporate State) superimposed on the dwellers upon the land (country) by commercial interests for the perpetuation of lawlessness (force) over freedom (phfree association and absence of rule) and theft of life, liberty, labor and land with immunity and impunity. 2) a historical artifact or invention. The erected demarcations between languaculture, politics and economics are as artificial as the disingenuous that employ, evoke or invoke their existence. The modem distinction between nation and society is that while the former may be ordered (and ordered around)--the latter orders itself. Originally, nation meant simply a gathering of people and their interrelated kinfolk living in a certain area that had nothing whatsoever to do with geographical boundaries--it was the people that comprised the nation, not the landscape and its parameters defining the people. Nat is the root word for both nature and nation. Since the rise of stationary bandits and territorial gangsters and the legal fictions they have created to perpetuate them, nations have become synonymous with Corporate States and oppression. (See: Legal Fiction, Stationary Bandits, Tyranny, Corporate State, Society, "Government," Languaculture, Culture, Rulership, Citizenship, Involuntary Servitude, Statutory Oppression, Society & Feudal)
Nations - conquered countries and the dwellers (men, women and their offspring) upon these lands. 2) gigantic (transparent to the slave) labor camps of the ruling dynastic gangbanking families (the Oligarchy) and their Corporate States. 3) false geographical and political divisions of countries and continents. At a higher level of human consciousness and human organization, i.e., stateless societies--nations can actually exist (and be continuously shaped and reconstructed) without the superimposition of states, and at least theoretically speaking, nationalism can exist without statism. Although nations are not necessarily desirable in themselves--only just and liberated societies can bring about the sane survival of our species and our world (as we know it) on this planet that we all share (like the air we breathe) in common plight. It is possible to achieve self determination without the impediment of the nation. (See: Nation-State, Corporate State & BOW DOWN)

CAPITAL - Crime And Punishment Is Taking African Lives. (See: Capital Punishment, Maroon Culture & Death Penalty)
Nation-State - an unreal entity (granfalloon) used to conscript natural bodies into surrendered loyalties and massive sacrifice in the name of corporate profits in the theatre of war (perpetual conflict). 2) a concept, method and excuse a group of individuals use as a vehicle to commit crimes against individuals, humanity and other groups that they would never remotely consider (for fear of their lives) committing individually. A nation-state is a hybrid living contradiction--not unlike the notion of "political economy." We must rise to the level of consciousness that allows us to de-couple Nation from State in our thoughts and in our actions of human organization. (See: Political Economy) [MORE]
