Also....doesn't a ONE world government make sense at some point in time, in the future??
This is going to be a cross-over into the "Aliens and UFO" Forum, so sorry...but it has to be addressed at some point.
One day, whether it has happened already or not, a PLANET will have to incorporate itself into a larger community of other planets.
AND...we can even take out the "alien" aspect, if you wish...because, if you extrapolate far enough into the future, mankind WILL eventually begin
to colonize off-earth, within our Solar System (at first).
The parochial notions of arbitrary nation-state boundaries will become obsolete.
What people seem to fear, here, is the loss of identitiy from a cultural standpoint...but, really...WHO nowadays has an original culture,
anyway?
You make some good points here, but there are other issues and things to fear.
For example, the points you make rely on an almost eutopian future where everyone shares and embraces the human spirit together. Would this really be
the result we can look forward to under a stealthy manipulated ruling government created by those elite who are already in power in their respective
countries?
I agree that eventually at some point a world that you are imagining will be reality, but not under a monetary system.
What we have to fear, is as the groundwork is solidified what system will be imposed? What laws would be in place? What freedoms would you have to
surrender? On topic, how much poorer would your nation be after giving over part of its wealth. What rules would the poor nations have to follow or
would the warring poor nations around the world suddenly have access to funds that, through corruption or not, be used militarily.
I agree that to advance as a race humanity will some day need to evolve into world government, but it must be done at the will of the people rather
than snuck in without consent, or recourse.
Don't most of the wealthy nations already donate tons of wealth to developing nations? The only reason to force compliance of this through treaty is
for control! Control of the money, which is exactly what the worlds bankers (read fractional reserve banking) have been doing for generations. It
would seem to me this is merely their next logical step towards not a world that has come together for the good of all, but into a world dominated by
them.
