The idea is often advanced by the Fabian illuminati that 'benevolent global governance' would be the best political outcome for humanity.
Under this proposed global government what will happen to people who disagree with rule by a single central government? Are dissenters to be put down or sent to concentration camps as has been the outcome of every grandiose centralised utopian governance vision? If it is to be a democracy what will happen if the democratically elected outcome is the separation of various dissenting groups from the global dictatorship? If it is to be a 'benevolent' autocracy who are the rulers going to be - an enlightened self-appointed Fabian elite whose views only concord with their own? What if power ends up being concentrated in the hands of a few thugs like the Stalinist regime or worse still in the hands if a psychopath like Pol Pot? Don't you see any danger that such a concentration of central power over the whole of humanity is likely to be highly dangerous, corrupt and tyrannical? Would you be in favour of a global government that suppressed you?
Personally I regard ideas of 'global government' as a dystopian nightmare - a nightmare outlined wonderfully by Aldous Huxley and by Orwell.
The space for divergent views is a prerequisite for discovering the truth. I cannot imagine a global government would have any truck for any diverging views and would constantly strive to end all diversity in all aspects of human lives. This has been our permanent and constant experience of totalitarian regimes.
In any event we already have a global government (the USA). And we have witnessed their astonishing stupidity and arrogance at work across the world. Ohio is the same as Iraq. We are bringing freedom and democracy. We are freeing women from oppression. We saunter up and down the Middle east and the rest of the world secure in our utter contempt for anything unAmerican.
This current global government is breaking down. Similar to the Roman Empire before it - the last global governance system. Thank goodness: I look forward to dancing on the grave of these monolithic governance blocs and the fiat money system. I hope the replacement is 500-1000 small diverse pluralistic culturally particular countries none of which is powerful enough or large enough to impose its will on any other.
