That would be a good goal, but how can you make it witout imperialism? Not through nation states or representative democracies but through voluntary networks that can compose.
- henearkr 4y agoI think it is possible. Maybe a way to do it would be through world-wide petitions? Or more realistically through some world-wide voting system, as participating to such a petition overtly could lead to political persecutions. Then the problem is the verification that people are not voting several times. And then the problem of allowing people to vote (in some states like in China that problem will be difficult to solve)...
- betwixthewires 4y agoIf you had a world wide petition, you'd have 1 of 2 things: 1) everyone participating in one giant binding petition, in which case you're already imposing worldwide democracy on them without asking them (the act of making them vote on it in the first place is an undemocratic act), or 2) individual nations and groups being given the option to have a vote on the matter, in which case you'll certainly be left with nation states that say "no". People don't want what you're proposing. Is it not then undemocratic to impose it on them in the first place?
