This is critical for totalitarian, anti-human regimes. They cannot live in a progressive developing, competitive world. They need a monopoly on total power, total subjugation, control of the masses of their essentially slaves. Global world unification implies common agreements, compromise solutions, equality, mechanisms of control and enforcement of obligations and laws. I.e. everything that contradicts the concept of totalitarianism and slave world. Therefore, the problem of preserving civilized peace on earth is now acute, otherwise we will be waiting for the “dark ages” and we can forget about a quiet, measured life and plans for the future.
Yes. I feel you. A globalized world would be a complete nightmare for totalitarian regimes such as China and Russia. But would you imagine an scenario where autoritarianism reigns supreme? Then it will be the end of human progress as we know it. There needs to be a balance between powers for the stabilization of our society.
Fortunately, Trump won the US presidency (again). He aims to put things back on track by enforcing "peace through strength". Once countries respect and fear the US, peace and economic prosperity will be restored. The end of the Russo-Ukraine war and the Middle East crisis would be a good start. If Trump fails, our world will continue to fragment itself (polarized) until a new world order arises. Just as how history has shown us. All I want is for things to go back to the way they were before COVID-19 took the world by storm (back to normal). Or is it too late for that?
