One world government?

[AceBoogie]

Has anyone ever thought about this?

How exactly do you think a one world government would work? Or could it work? Is it possible for a one world government to act for the interests of the people rather than the corporations?

Or how would it NOT work? What flaws would a one world government have?

Would social darwinism eventually cause the world to revert back into separate regions/states etc.?

I am very interested in this idea of a one world government and I'm trying to get everyone's perspective on it.

Could it work? How different would the world and its inhabitants have to be before this could even be considered a possibility? Would population control be necessary for a globalized world? How could it work with over 8 billion people in the world? Or could it?

Suppose the North Korean government was the only government in the world. That would be bad. Suppose ISIS ran the world....that would be bad. While many governments increase the chances that there will be some bad governments....it also increases the chances there will be some good governments.

There is a One World Government.

It wouldn't work, unless we had first achieved consensus. That we do not have but one government suggests that we have not.

If the United nations worked properly, that would be close to a OWG. You just have a bunch of allied nations with representatives that meet somewhere to talk about international affairs. I don't think that would be bad. I suppose christians fear it because it's supposed to be a sign of the antichrist. It's kind of sad when you have a group that does not want world peace, because they think it would be brought on by an evil force.

We already have that in global corporatism. Banks and fuel are investments friend and foe, open and closed societies invest in.

Which brings me to something I wanted to ask you in your introduction thread, why do you think the guy in your avatar is so great? Che was an opportunist nothing more. What he built is nothing any open society would want to live in.

You do not simply have a revolution to have one. The Russian revolution was the result of centralized wealth in one class. Which simply shifted the wealth to a party. Jefferson supported the French Revolution and that ended up with a dictator.

I am no fan of our corporate owned government, but that is not the fault of the Constitution anymore than you can blame a hammer for the user bashing someones skull in. I am no Ayn Rand atheist and I hate libertarians even more than republicans because they are simply republicans on steroids.

But I am also not for a Cuba style government either. They have no political diversity and speaking out against the government is not acceptable there. Cheap food and healthcare and free education can be obtained without setting up one party rule.

I think Europe and Canada and Australia are examples of balance, although global corporatism is trying to break them as well.

But no, there will never be a one world government in the context having one entity or one global state. I find it absurd in a diverse species to expect all 7 billion of us to be on the same page.

I do think what is more reasonable is that we promote the idea that our common needs should be a bigger priority than our differences.

A One World Government wouldn't be stable or work.

But three would be fine. There would a rotation of 2 against the third, with the roles probably changing every 5 to 10 years.

I'd think each of the three governments would be deeply militaristic, and very authoritarian.

No matter what system of government one tries to set up, you are still talking about humans running it with a wide range of behaviors and greed will always be one of them so any system will be open to abuse of power. Banning monopolies of power while allowing differences and keeping the gap between the top and bottom reasonable and not lopsided is about as close as you can get to managing a population without risking a revolution.

Yes, because surely the prospect of pioneering a means to get off this rock if we fuck things up beyond repair is the most despicable issue facing the human race.
