ah, yes. it is internationalism that is occurring naturally. there's nothing to fear from it. nothing instantaniously radical that will leave us yearning for teh past, nothing that will damage or tear society appart... quite the opposite is true.

but of course, its not the idealistic dream of a idealistic futurist craving a better world. we still need the starting block. and that starting block has unbalanced shares of influence. so of course, as you say... US.

at the fear of turning this into a purely capitalism based discussion i bring it up... after all, it is the worlds primary system of getting things done.

as long as capitalism prevails as it does, it makes any inteligent progressive globalisation (or rather, internationalisation) for the good of the planet and all its inhabitants a complete no-brainer.

market forces and greed cannot be allowed to shape the (for lack of a better term) "new world order" just the same as it would be completely irresponsable to allow any religion complete carte blanche on the way of things.


oh dear... i can feel myself "going of on one" here....

another question has sprung to mind.
is democracy even the best tool for the job?
we often asume that this would be the method of government for the world, but what if we were to create an entirely different system. a system where everyone is given fair political influence, influece that could change dynamically taking into consideration a massive number of factors.
or how about this... instead of nations, the world is split into ideologies. every individual, regardless of where they are get to choose by which system they are governed by. you could have marxists, capitalists, liberal democrats, orthodox religious types, neo-socialists (lol), etc. all living on the same street.

or is that just too much of a pipe dream? to idealistic? dangerous even?

but anyway, the question still persists, is democracy even the best tool for the job?
