How can we finally achieve peace?

Is she right? Is the creation of a world state the only way? Or some form of worldwide shadow government?

How would you achieve peace, /his/?

Wasn't the point supposed to be that a world government wad the wrong interpretation of her ideas? Also this sounds more like /pol/ thread to me.

If the problem is War, and Peace is the alternative, then a world state is the only way to achieve that. Otherwise, states will always have War in their back pockets as an option.

If the problem is violence, and peace is the alternative, then there is no reason to think a world state would do any better or worse than any other states.

Creation of a global monopoly of violence would probably reduce occurrences of violence, yes. Every period of history that has ended in a single hegemon establishing it's rule has ushered in a period of peace, for the area governed at least.

Eradicate the English language with vocal chord parasites that activate upon hearing English spoken.

The way I see it. Eventually we will become a world state and any time a part of that state tries to secede the global military will just shit on them. It would probably happen a handful of times but eventually everybody would know Its an impossible war to win.

World peace is impossible as long as humans have human nature. The sad reality.

Eventually everyone would rebel. Hopefully people would recognize that their absolutist rulers give no fucks about them before the military might of the absolutist overlords is so strong that all the people of the country can't overthrow it.

Also, a global state is essentially an oxymoron. A global state means that there is really no state. It would essentially be tribes at that point, and the world would crumble. A global state is probably the worst future I can think of in regard to damage at the hands of man.

pain explained it very well in the naruto anime. he said you need an absolute ruler to have complete control over people, and after a few decades or so start to slaughter them to remind them how good peace really is. makes sense since today's generation forgets how good life was. in the case of europeans, it sucked to live in a a "melting pot" society. a belgian cant depend on italian soldiers to defend them, there is no incentive for italians to put their lives on the line for foreigners. for americans, it sucked to live like cows, waiting for be milked for the king's belly. here in the u.s. i will never experience what its like to actually enjoy privacy, i.e. not have a policeman search me and barge into my home and car just because he "was suspicious". sounds stupid and edgy but its true. i honestly figured this out before watching this arc. was just blown away by how much of a historyfag kishimoto was. that or we are both edgelords. would love to see how the chinese were before mao, back when they had a sense of community. now it seems all they care about is making an extra coin from selling off rat meat and steak. if only the current gen of chinamen knew the love and sense of belonging the chinese shared in the past, maybe then theyd worry about getting their neighbors sick

A creation of a world state would require unity among the world. A world state cannot exist currently; the Romans, Ottomans, and the Holy Roman Empire all failed because in their vast empires there was no unity among their territories. The world is too different country to country right now, even present day countries are struggling to retain unity within their domain.
>>
>>861448
You can not have a global state. It is not a feasible concept there is no state that can possibly overcome the lack of unity that would result from a single nation encompassing the entire world. A state implies some sort of governing ability or unity, which is impossible under a single body attempting to govern a people which are inherently against unification.

Being chased by wild animals was a form of evolution - but we built these cities and farms anyways.

Just because war goes away, doesn't mean competition will.

(Although maybe it does, as extinction is about the only way I see war going away.)

How would you know that? There was no nations in the Stone Age, let alone a big single one.
>>
>>861551
Not him, but you denied it on conceptual basis. You though a global state is essentially an oxymoron.

I'm not sure about your whole view. A state exists in order to exclude the enemy. Hence, the enemy of the global state is anti-globalism. The enemy's whole existence is necessary, and if they don't they will be invented the way it fits.

Her goal was literally the opposite. Leave the world as it is because a world state would not work. She wanted nations and people to cooperate, that's all.

Please refer to this post >>862397

That being said, "nations and people cooperating" is impossible. You always need an enemy to unite the people. You need a murky foe hidden among the shadows to fight. Whether it be "the evil Capitalists", "godless Commies" or "Islamic extremism".

What do you think will suddenly happen to all the soldiers? I speak from experience when I tell you that there are some people that simply enjoy killing. They love the rush of the firefight. They can't get enough of it. Like an addict, they scrounge for conflict wherever they can find it. So that they may experience the echos of those previous engagements.

What will you do with the military industrial complex? Our dogs of war that roam about the earth.

No, the most pragmatic and best option is to leave things be. The current system functions fine. There is a place for everyone. The killer, the moralfag, the businessman and the saint. To implement a world government or some form of permanent peace would be problematic at best, suicidal at worst.

yeah, we won't have war between states, just civil war.
Brilliant.
Any more good ideas?

>>862410
>>862412
People either fight or negotiate. To get people to negotiate you must achieve 2 things.

1: Make sure no one's survival is at risk. People would rather fight to the death than include their own death as part of the negotiations.

2: Develop a system where conflict is not advantageous to anyone and the results of conflict are apparent to all. There has to be a very wide margin of error between the point anyone takes conflict remotely seriously and the status quo, while infractions against the status quo which begin to penetrate this margin of error are heavily penalized in the realm of negotiation. The realm of negotiation is capitalism, if a company like Monsanto sells substances that could be used in chemical weapons to a dodgy dictatorship, rather than waging war physically, you wage war through capitalism, you brand the dictatorship an unstable corrupt country and cripple their economy and brand Monsanto as unreliable.

Holy shit do I see a socialist on /his/?

We just need to make sure food and shelter aren't things we compete for more of and also hopefully non-renewable energy sources will just go away.
>>
>>862470
Lowering the amount of free market competition is only half the battle. As Veblen stated, as one society moves from a savage, yet peaceable state, into a predatory, war-like culture, the respect for 'exploit' increases. The amount of honor given to those who no longer even have to exploit directly is evidence enough that our culture is now reaping the fruits of their own demons.
>>
>>862490
What does that have to do with the fact that resources are finite?
>>
>>862470
>>862490
You are both making the assumption that some states and peoples will accept not being on top. The games of power won't stop even if we have full employment, food and shelter for all.

You are assuming that we live in a world of rational actors.
>>
>>862490
Also, one more thing. I don't know what the optimal currency is, but I doubt it's a non- gold backed inconvertible paper one. Despite that, even if we had a perfect currency economists like J.S. Mill stated one of the largest reasons we had commercial crises in the first place was the abundance of easy credit.
