Cities are Organic Communities Whereas Nation-states are Synthetic
People have a natural affinity towards cities. Whether it be an apartment or house that one lives in, the school of their children, a group of friends that live close, a hub for employment; community forms organically in cities. Contrast this with the nation-state where racial-ethnic and national “community” is synthetically created by state propaganda, education systems, sporting events, enterprising politicians, and other methods. An organically grown community has stronger bonds than a synthetic one; shared experiences lead to empathy and better collective decision making.
