Here, I have a proposal for you:
Imagine a world government wherein the killing, torture, and imprisonment of people is illegal, as the core clause of the state. In this state, the core clause does not permit the interests of the state over those of the individual; the state exists to support an individual.
Imagine a political party which comes to power through the co-option of the public sphere to support the above goals, while preaching that this party alone is capable of bringing about the revolution. Imagine a single leader which is the beating heart.
Imagine this party preaching that the global economy must be reverse-engineered to adhere to the above-mentioned goal. Imagine that technical renaissance is trumpeted.
Imagine this totalitarian state and its transparent principles. Transparent enough to call itself totalitarian.
Now imagine the orange flag flying on the marble arch on a clear day.
- azinman2 9y agoSounds impossible on many levels, the least of which is absolute power corrupts absolutely. Laws to protect individuals are rarely the problem, from North Korea and China to Mexico and the US. People, positions of power, the lack of accountability, the distribution of problems and the unequal voices of those issues, the total cultural and reality differences between the great leader and the realities of everyone everywhere, trust, etc don’t get solved by the one true government.

- Retra 9y agoSounds like a useless government. I mean, if such a state can't kill or imprison people, how are they going to get other people to comply with their laws? And if they can, why would any other government cede the ability to do so themselves?
