In a way its like socialism. I mean, on paper it's the great equalizer. In real life, potential for abuse is far too great and we have all seen what socialism turns into.

No, we haven't seen what socialism turns into because there has never been a socialistic, nor communistic society on earth.

WE are not but our government is.
This nation was founded as a constitutional republic, that is where 99% of the people can not take away the rights of the remaining 1%
It has become a fascist (or to be more accurate a corporatist government)
where one man (Feurer Bush) has taken away some of the rights of 100% of the people.

Pass. I have only enough time to learn about things that actually exist. When I have time for fiction I'll prefer the X-Men.

I completely agree that we have a partially corpratist government, where the top 5% stock holders rule the rest of us in a way,deciding how much to pollute, and where to outsource, then you throw in lobbying and they have control beyond what corporations do.

Well being a big star trek fan I'm all for a one world government if it's the same as the one in star trek and shares the same values and principles. Unfortunately there will always be those who wish to control others and have all the power for themselves. So it's a pipe dream. Then again who knows what the future holds.

I guess it's not enough to just pose good questions here, so I'll include the answers this time. I was hoping to see who would come up with these on their own.
-It is inevitable, not the fulfillment of prophecy. A healthy organism will grow and eat weaker organisms. Same thing with organizations. It's doesn't take a prophet to predict this course of events.
-It will bring peace and unity to the world. The united states is full of people with different cultures and customs, and still works as one government made of individual states. A one world government could be modeled after the U.S. Each state would have it's own laws, and basic federal laws of human rights (and taxes).
-It could be voluntary, no state would need to be forced into the United States of Earth.
-You could still freely form political parties and organizations to combat environmental harm and corruption.
I'm just asking, isn't there a possible future that you could see something like this working out for the better?
If you are afraid of mingling with people of other nations and cultures, then I recommend that you seal off your bunker right now. Better to help shape the future government so that it works out with the power in the hands of the people, rather than play victim, run scared, and let others decide how it will work.
Think about it this way. If you hide in a hole and don't participate, then I will be one of the people shaping the world government the way I want it.
Now please discuss amongst yourselves.
