Topic: The Rise of Supranational Governance (Read 811 times)
Any possible or eventual world government is absolutely bad for anyone but the elites who conspire to make it. Too many socialist minded people put too much trust into governments yet bash corporations when in reality, it's those two that work hand in hand these days. Regulations are wrote by corporate lawyers and the lobbied to lawmakers who are put in place by contributions by the former. A world government would be nothing besides another layer of unelected bureaucrats that are dedicated to continually growing government at the expense of individual liberties. The elites would run the show for their benefits and everyone else would be reduced to common mediocrity and misery.
This interview with Jaron Lanier is highly relevant to what is discussed in this article.

If we were to assume that eventually, some sort of world government configuration will take the place of individual, fragmented sovereign states, what would it look like and how would it operate? Will it be a communion of our wisest political leaders under one flag and all people agreeing upon the laws which govern in a democratic vote? Will we all tune in right around suppertime to watch the ‘president of the world’ elections and root for the party with which we most closely relate to? Will we finally be among a utopian society where true democracy is the staple ideology?
Quite simply, this picture hardly paints an accurate picture of what we have coming towards us.
More than anything, the average individual will do away with their notion of nationalism and adopt the ideology of a world citizen. A new supranational governance will take hold, one where individual rise above national boundaries. Not confided to artificial borders or boundaries, these individuals will have the opportunity to experience unprecedented wealth accumulation. Unlike any time before in history, they will be subversive to judicial taxation strategies due to the very nature of digital money which will continually offer alternatives for increased security, functionality, and anonymity – although it is quite likely these payment systems will be under surveillance to a degree previously unmatched.
