I agree. But then I see problems on this planet that cannot be solved locally. And.. How flawed it's implementations until now may have been, I still believe in democracy as the best possible option. The "ledger tech" you mention is what could be used to keep the democracy direct (instead of representative). The thought of a world wide digital referendum on some issue, with proper cryptographic underpinnings, this makes sense to me. I think the UN is somehow a step towards a one-world-gov't as OK'ed by the "most powerful"; they like the nations as that where they have their power vested, so the UN will protect their interests in the end. The "United People", as I proposed, should actually reduce their power and put in the hands of the people.
