One World Government?

Well I would imagine that the concepts of both Capitalism and Socialism would be completely irrelevant in this implied model. We would have to come up with something entirely new that defies old standards and definitions. Perhaps something akin to what Riane Eisler suggests in regards to politics and economics. I would have to do more research on that as it's been so long since I last tapped into it.

But I will say this, that what qualifies a "right execution" would be anything that creates a stable government. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work. One option in the poll says "Yes, a stable, functioning world government would be an overall good thing" and the other option is "Even if we had a stable, functioning government for the entire planet it would not be a good thing overall". I think this is the first and most important question, asking that even if we established a functioning world government would it be right? Or are there alternatives?
