There have been a number of posters who have pushed various unsubstantiated scenario’s that they imagine would eventuate if Macedonia were to render null and void the Framework Agreement. Their motivations for this are only too obvious and mirror the same unsubstantiated justifications for the signing of this agreement in the first place.
These posters have done very little research or provided any critical thought as to the apocalyptic scenario’s they promote. These scenario’s include war, economic embargoes and complete international “isolation”. None of them have been able to explain what they mean and why they support such nonsense any further than to merely parrot what our vassal politicians do in the media.
These “scenario’s” are preposterous, but I will address them further down. First I will try to address the key question in relation to the Framework Agreement and the associated legislative and constitutional amendments.
Primacy of the individual rather than the collective/ethnic
The key question is, if the Macedonian Government voided the Framework Agreement they would also need to redraft a host of statutory laws and constitutional provisions. What would they replace them with?
The answer is quite simple and one that has been implemented in advanced states for up to the past two centuries. That is a political community that is based on the primacy of the INDIVIDUAL rather than these so-called “collective/ethnic” rights (better termed ruling-elite privileges).
Political communities based on the primacy of the individual (the smallest autonomous unit) are founded in natural law and morally defensible. Such a political communities promote and protect individual freedom, based on individual rights and responsibilities – not vague collective or ethnic notions of “rights”, such as those found in the Framework Agreement, which cannot be morally justified or practically implemented without serious abuse (which has been thoroughly documented in Macedonia).
The following are some links that provide some basic information on the various models of political communities based on the primacy of the individual across the world. Granted, I personally do not agree with everything on these websites, but they are a must for a basic understanding of the issue.

Unsubstantiated scaremongering
Lets now look at the unsubstantiated nonsense that various posters have parroted since the signing of the Framework Agreement in a disgraceful attempt to justify that capitulation and continue its implementation.
The first claim is that war will break out between Macedonians and Albanians if the Macedonian Government attempts to revoke the Framework Agreement. What the proponents of this claim fail to understand (or do not want to understand) is that war between the Macedonians and Albanians, in my view, in inevitable. Not because of the Framework Agreement, but because of competing national interests and visions for the respective communities. Besides, Albanian political leaders have themselves called for a replacement of the Framework Agreement, seeking further political power which will provide them with the ability to secede from the state.
There have been comments about “waiting” until Macedonia is “self-sufficient” in energy and weapons. This is another nonsense argument which only seeks to prolong the status quo for as long as possible. Macedonia will never be self-sufficient in either of those and it does not need to be (nor does any other state). It only needs reliable suppliers. Some have suggested that military hardware was scarce during 2001 and that was a reason for Macedonia’s defeat. This too is utter rubbish, as it has been well-documented that weapons were in oversupply and the real problem lied with vassal politicians too afraid to defend the state against terrorists.
Another typical argument of the vassal lapdogs among us is that Macedonia would face an embargo. They have never extrapolated on whether it will be a weapons embargo or a general economic embargo or something else or who would implement such an embargo or why such an embargo would be effective seeing as no embargo in the history of the world has ever been completely effective (minus the one-sided, one-border embargo that brought our vassal politicians to their feeble knees). I suppose the vagueness allows them to avoid an honest appraisal of their disingenuous claims. Lets assume its a general economic embargo that they are talking about. The question would be, WHO and WHY would anyone impose an embargo on Macedonia for providing fundamental natural rights EQUALLY to all of its citizens? This has never happened, and such a fantastical claim requires some reasoning to demonstrate its possibility. However, such reasoning or experiential evidence does not exist outside of their deluded fantasies. The same goes for claims that Macedonia would be “isolated”. WHO and WHY would break off diplomatic and commercial ties with a state providing international best-practice natural rights EQUALLY for all of its citizens?
Another suggestion has been the Macedonia would lose EU funding if it dared to implement the very policies that EU states themselves use. WHY? Even if we take this as a given, what these despicable proponents fail to address is the fact that the vast majority of these funds are used to implement the FA, its related legislation and activities to “educate” the Macedonians of the necessity of such a illegitimate agreement. How is it that these funds are “necessary” for Macedonia? Those that are not pilfered by corrupt vassal politicians are in actual fact used to deconstruct the state as a MACEDONIAN state.
Even this whole notion of “waiting” until Macedonia is “ready” is absolute nonsense. Firstly, the longer Macedonia “waits” the more control Macedonians lose over both political power and state institutions. These are the only effective mechanisms through which they can mount a last-ditch effort to save Macedonia as a Macedonian state. Secondly, the real challenges (replacing the FA) require intellectual capacity and not military hardware.
Concluding remarks
The real challenges in voiding the Framework Agreement lie in providing meaningful individual freedom, supported by meaningful individual rights and responsibilities. These can only be legitimate and acceptable to the population if they are based on natural law and not some experimental notion of “collective/ethnic” rights.
The idiotic “scenario’s” that have been developed by our vassal politicians and parroted by their lapdogs are unsubstantiated and defy both reason and the available evidence. Their only purpose is to spread fear among unsuspecting and uninformed Macedonians.
