So how will world government come about?
In a sense we’ve already had world government.
At the height of Roman power in the mid 2nd century AD, conservative opinion is that the Empire was comprised of some 65 million people. Assuming that the world population was still roughly about 300 million people, this would mean that the Roman population was approximately 21% of the world’s total.
By 1913, the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time.
However, what we’re talking about is somewhat different and unprecedented.
We’re not talking about a city or nation state conquering other city or nation states, or national globalism if you will, we’re talking about global, globalism, something more akin to the United Nations or European Union, but far more covetous.
World government could be achieved through the UN, or a new entity, perhaps emerging after a crisis or crises, real, imagined or exaggerated (like you know what), let’s call it the WU (World Union).
The ultimate objective of the WU would be to abolish nationhood altogether, but barring a manmade or natural catastrophe of epic proportions, such a lofty objective couldn’t be achieved overnight, it would take many decades if not centuries, and they may not get the whole world, only a large portion of it, say 20-25%.
The WU could begin innocuously enough, like the European Union began as the European Economic Community, as a free trade agreement between several nations, from there more nations may join.
Later, member states could relinquish their national currencies for the world, digital currency.
The world currency would be tied in with social credit.
People with a low score would have their finances restricted, like in China.
If you’re bad, they can just restrict or turn off your purchasing power.
From there, it could get more covetous, demanding member states surrender more and more of their sovereignty till there’s none left.
In addition to currency, the WU would have a world army, bureaucracy, court, education, healthcare, just about everything nations have.
Incrementally member states would adopt its systems.
As the WU grows, becoming wealthier and more powerful, it could invade sovereign nation states, forcefully expanding its domain.
Which nations will be the first to join, the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, France?
We hope no one.
China?
In my estimation China is still too conservative and nationalistic, the prime candidates for globalism are in the west, where the globalists came out of, and perhaps some weak, underdeveloped nations the globalists already largely control.
Powerful, nationalistic states like Russia and China (even tho the Chinese are at the forefront of social credit and transhumanism) will be less likely to join, and so the globalists may have to compete economically, militarily, and culturally with Brazil, Russia, India, China, Iran, Turkey and so on.
I do believe we’re headed for a multipolar world, but what I think we’re missing is, globalism itself will likely be one of the poles, if not the pole, not just Russia, China the US and so on, but world government itself will probably increasingly become a force to be reckoned with…assuming civilization doesn’t completely collapse due to some unpredictable manmade or natural calamity.
If the US has a civil war, it’ll probably be over this question, to join or not to join world government.
All western, and many developing nations may have to have a civil war over this question.
In some nations the globalists may win, in others lose, and in others still nations may split into two or more entities over it.
