Lemme explain the sensibility even when we use 1.a.1. I said the idea of a nation itself should cease to exist.
An analog would be religion. If someone asked me, "what's your religion?". I would say, "I'm non religious". I wouldn't reply by saying, "my religion is atheism".
Similarly, if someone asked me what nation I belonged to, I would say something along the lines of "technically, I'm under the jurisdiction of XYZ state, but I do not identify as a member of any nation."
I'm hoping that this becomes the majority viewpoint. That's how my answer is sensible even with 1.a.1.
And as for "will inevitably rise within any sovereign state which will persist for a long enough time", it's not true necessarily. Example being myself and so many other people (anarchists, lib socialists, even right wing libertarians). Yes, it has been true throughout history (descriptive), but I'm hoping it isn't going forward (normative).
