Borders must be abolished to sustain the capacity for life to exist, not to aid in the continuation of capitalism. Capitalism is a reactionary death cult maintained by hyper-exploitating all forms of life.

Even Marx thought that capitalism was an improvement over earlier systems, and he might be correct. But like religion - which helped people cooperate at larger scales than a tribe - it has reached a point where the evils that it inflicts on the world far outweigh any past benefits.
