Ultimately, I believe you are correct that effective governance should focus primarily on protecting people from exploitation, but in reality, governments often operate differently. Regarding the idea of a one-world government, I believe we are rapidly moving in that direction, with immigration playing a significant role in this process.Posted by shaberon (here)
One of the main points of contention in all of these arguments is private property. It's absolutely vital for Capitalism, and is diminished or eliminated in other systems. The Patrician law has it so that you can transmit this to ensure your grandchildren's future, and you have no need to care if this form of hoarding caused hardship to other people.
As I see it, the only and necessary function of government is to protect the masses from this kind of exploitation. But the duty could be performed by an absolute monarch. The only kind of social contract I would want to enter into, is based on this principle, which in itself does not require any particular form of government.
For the sake of brevity, I did not include Shaberon's full post, see the last post on the previous page for more detail.
I don't share your enthusiasm that the United States is a fascist government. I agree it is heavily militarized and influenced by financial and geopolitical interests. I see this more as a necessity driven by strategic concerns rather than pure greed. The post-World War II international order shifted global military power significantly, with the United States emerging as the dominant military force. It wasn't happenstance, but that is how it turned out.
I also agree that independent coalitions of Islamic and communist countries are likely to challenge the current global order. Over time, these coalitions have and will continue to lead to a multipolar world order. That same multipolar world order is rapidly transforming into a bipolar world order dominated by the USA and China. The bipolarization of the world is the last station before the world consolidates into a single, unified global government. I see it is inevitable.
