Comments on: World Government - Solution To World Peace? http://www.abytheliberal.com/world-politics/world-government-solution-to-world-peace The Internationalist Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:31:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: James http://www.abytheliberal.com/world-politics/world-government-solution-to-world-peace#comment-14617 James Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:02:55 +0000 http://www.abytheliberal.com/world-politics/world-government-solution-to-world-peace#comment-14617 I am utterly shocked that this is proposed as a solution. With the extreme corruption we see in the ineffective UN, it would simply follow that the larger the government, the larger the abuse of power, and the more suffering it will cause. Human beings are inherently greedy and prone to power trips and corruption. Without any form of checks and balances, nothing good will become of it. When the UN has been called to action they are only a useless paper tiger. Ah the UN...so wonderful! http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2008/0911/1221039067460.html http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in_our_opinion/oil_for_osama.htm http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2004/04/23/do2301.xml http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1031-01.htm We have seen what gigantic 'of the state' institutions have provided us...Stalin, Mao, etc. have made wonderful contributions to humanity. I am not calling the US flawless. With all of its faults, I would have it no other way. Any sort of collective government organization is inherently threatened by individual will, and due to the threat of the individual the collective would try to stamp out the 'bad elements'.

We have seen what gigantic ‘of the state’ institutions have provided us…Stalin, Mao, etc. have made wonderful contributions to humanity. I am not calling the US flawless. With all of its faults, I would have it no other way. Any sort of collective government organization is inherently threatened by individual will, and due to the threat of the individual the collective would try to stamp out the ‘bad elements’.

I think to much authority is generally a bad thing. There is also always going to be a majority that seeks to control and have more power than the minority. Peoples ideologies are too diverse, etc. I have to agree 100% with your view on the UN and world government. I think to much authority is generally a bad thing.

Eventually I think its inevitable. Although probably not for a while, redistributing wealth? 1 vote per person if its tried too soon? mayhem and revolution can we learn to live on this planet, do we continue to evolve, or are we doomed?
