End nationalism. Unify the world. Establish a single government. All the people sharing all of the world. Eliminate foreign competition, immigration, tax havens and comparative wealth. That's four birds with one rock.

If that hypothetical Earth government turned out to be a tyrannical regime, what chances would the populace under control have to overthrow it? Besides not a damned single one, that is.
Also, such a government's reaction time to sudden eventualities would be too slow to actually be effective. Centralized governments traditionally do have this inconvenience when it comes to put the state machinery in motion. Ask the Russians, for example. It's unclear as to how would social and economic barriers disappear, too. It's not like they will fade away just because if the current dominant economy model is meant to be kept. |
