Should the Earth be one country?

@Adrift Communism/Centralized control going without a hitch/opperession goes against human nature. These idiots who dream of a global utopia where we all live well off, happy, healthy, and unoppressed are in a pipedream. There is always a dictator chomping at the bit for power. That's why there have been many books (1984, A Brave New World, The Giver), movies (The Hunger Games, Divergent, etc), and other media that illustrate dystopia when communist like systems inevitably fail.

@ShadowWolf Its funny, my kids read all those books and they still dont get it.

@Adrift Wild. Ya I read them in 8th grade. Wouldn't surprise me if the leftist elite try to ban them. I fear once Boomers are gone, the world is doomed.

@caPnAhab climate change is a tell-tale sign that we are being colonised by aliens.

@MarthaT they can't adapt to the environment.

Solution: change the environment!

@ShadowWolf Imagine if the world had one country and one gov, people across the planet could fight for direct democracy.

@MarthaT I don't believe in true democracy to begin with. I believe in a constitutional republic. Secondly, due to the nature of the world, cities vs towns/farms, different geographies, different cultures, different types of people, there is not one size fits all. It's better to have separate local/state/country governments. For a multitude of reasons.
