I'm inclined to agree, you get one Nero wanabee in such a government and we're all fucked.Even if ran by majority rule we're all fucked because majority rule would be theocratic rule.
And the Stanford prison experiment, and the one where they think they're electrocuting someone in another room (Forgotten what that one's called)
When a person is told 'You have control over these people and as long as you obey your superiors you'll be fine' they always go too far.
It was the Milgram Experiment.
I don't know if a world government would be good or bad because I can't imagine how it would be run. Would we all vote for a council that runs the world or a single person? Would different groups get more votes or would each person get one vote? Would there be basics rights for everyone? What kind of economic system would work best with a one world government?
