I think you missed the point of that part of the performance. Bb was not waving the flag for statehood, he was waving the light blue flag for an independent Puerto Rico… Just after Ricky Martin sang a song about how Hawaii got screwed by statehood and they don’t want that to happen in Puerto Rico (from DTmF).
It’s not about statehood. It’s about separating from the United States. Totally anti-colonial with all that sugar cane, too.
If some wealthy people want to push for independence more power to them. Honestly, they should be separated and independent from the US after a payment of a couple of trillion dollars of reparations, of course.
I would like to point out that unless they plan on creating a new form of government they will just fall neatly into the fascist trap the rest of the world has fallen in. I don’t think wealthy pop icons are going to slit their own throats.
So it really isn’t about anti-colonial at this point as it is about anti-corporations. We need to move our mindset beyond the 20th century if we ever expect to break free as a people.
Fair enough. I just think it is important to point out we are transitioning into a post-nation world ran by a corporatocracy which is the evolution of the fascist corporatism.
I am fond of saying no nation on this planet deserves the human race. Perhaps one will be someday.

Just responding to the last part: I’d say anti-colonial basically is anti-corporate. Look at the Dutch East India Company.

Exactly.
