Is the idea of one world government still as controversial today as it was in the early 2000s (the zeitgeist/loose change era), or are people starting to wake up to its inevitability and necessity?
The problems we face today are global, and the relevance/usefulness of the nation state is rapidly dwindling

absolute power will be abused, and this is why we need the nation states. if nobody keeps the next guy in check all hell will break loose, corruption will be terrifying compared to what it is today. no, a one world government will only end in disaster.

the next economic transition is going to make centralized government impossible.
we are leaving the era of bulk capital consolidation and moving to a much more decentralized granular form where the productive power comes from smaller groups of individuals, and technological changes and propagate at rates no legislative body, or even theoretically perfect "enlightened tyrant", will be able to run a state as we currently consider them.

exactly what i am saying
many small communities and one global body like the UN or EU to deal with things like climate change and fish stocks and natural monopolies etc that no single community can achieve alone
however, I am concerned about the probability of corruption now that it has been raised, and I don't really have a suggestion to fix it
but that doesn't mean the concept is dead, i don't have to come up with all the answers today

there isn't going to be a global body.

there has to be, there cannot be full decentralisation as then nobody can address environmental issues and humanity will be destroyed

HELLOOO OP?

your commitment to your religious tier fixation will only make this harder for you and those around you.

governments today are simultaneously not big enough to address global problems whilst being too big to effectively govern on social issues
the answer therefor is to have both a bigger government and many smaller governments

without a global watchdog how do you stop countries fishing the ocean empty, dumping toxic waste and polluting the atmosphere?

You imply that small individual communities need a global government to tackle the global issues.
No they don't.
Share information freely, and everyone will decide to be eco-friendly/peaceful/equitable/etc. for and by themselves voluntarily.
And I mean SHARE INFORMATION FREELY for realzies. Not this power-grabbing censorship stuff.
eg. When the designs for more efficient farming are given away freely, and are Found! they'll be implemented by everyone. The only reasons to not charge for the BETTER is if you are being held back, held back by established institutions of power SUCH AS GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!

no they won't as long as the old ways are more profitable
>>29964922
People don't typically know, or want to know what goes on in bureaucracy and large scale logistics. A concentrated global group of power movers can only begin if there are enough supporters to manage the nightmare.
Shekelberg Inc's machinations towards their NWO will be a disaster for us no doubt, since their idea is to crash and burn, cut and run, then rebuild next generation. But if that's the sacrifice to placate 5 billion sandniggers, 5 billion pooniggers and 10 billion Ching Chongs then so be it.
The masses though generally dont care about numbers and ethics, morals and feelings are the only concern they are exposed to, so it will never come from a vote.

>More profitable.
There lies the issue. "Who benefits?"
The rich get richer as Capitalism eats the world and shits out pollution.
The poor are keep repressed. If only they had the information they needed to self-empower their way out of their struggles and...
bored now. read Marx.

the benefits of capitalism outweigh the costs
none of this technological change we are both so eager for can happen without the profit motive, and the free rider problem can be solved with regulation as long as there is a body capable of enforcing it, so why not just make one?
The EU proves that a global government can never work.

climate change proves that the nation state can never work
No dystopian world government for me, thanks

It's less likely than ever. Nationalism and regionalism are on the rise almost everywhere in the world.

The poor will choose national ties over Marxist "self-empowerment" every time. WWI proved that.
