Even the modern nation state is full of competing interests. Expand this to a global scale and governance becomes impossible without an ironfist, forcing those who disagree to conform -- or else. You end up with two wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner.

What is good for those in Europe or Asia might be incredibly destructive to me in America. You would have to choose winners and losers. And I dont want some far off government with that type of power. Its bad enough as it is.

In the Star Trek propaganda, Spock says "the needs of the many outweigh the needs or the few -- or the one". This is simply untrue and opens us to all sorts of misdeeds against the individual or small group like genocide. The needs of the one matters too or we enter into a dystopian age that looks like Logans Run.

If we are to ever have a global system, that system is centuries in the future. First we need to learn to play nice with our next door neighbor.
