Abolish Nation States
What would happen if we somehow convinced enough people in the world that nation states are illogical and that we are a single species and every human no matter where they are born deserves certain minimum standards and dignity? I don't have the numbers at hand, but I've seen it quoted that we could end world poverty with a trillion dollars, or something of that order. Let's say it was 10 trillion. The world economy generates that pretty easily. And even if it didn't, we could easily extract that much money from the rich in western societies. Would you be willing to live in a modest home with modest accoutrements (furniture, fittings, cars, technology, etc) if it meant that most of the poor in the world could live without crushing poverty and possibly even the same minimum standards as you?

Re: Abolish Nation States
So do I.
I guess the question is best addressed by those who live a comfortable middle-class existence or above.

I think it's a choice for us in our societies to live as we do though, so it still counts.

Re: Abolish Nation States
All that would happen is people use religions and cults for their tribalism identities and the poverty, unfairness and various wars would continue as before. You can see it now with the current experiment in globalism moving the goalposts of what a tribe means into something more backward and primitive, not less stupid.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Re: Abolish Nation States
Well the benign global government dictatorship would crush any such tribalism. As it's head, I'd make sure of it..

No. Because then there would be no Irish people. And that would be a shame.

There'd still be Irish people. He didn't say Abolish Nation States and Purge the Irish.

A shame, you say? A shame?!
If the abolition of nation states meant the end of the Irish that would be the ultimate deal-maker to me, if for no other reason than that it would mean the end of Devogue!

Yeah. But it doesn't hurt to hypothecate..
