if i ruled the world

I would keep everything the same, but change the army's of the world into philanthropy for the world. In the sense that instead of destroying, we build. Remove "borders" and allow people to be citizens of the world. Respect for everybody would be in the law book.

That's kind of my utopia. I don't even need to be rich or drive a ferrari at that point.

For laws to work you need to have people who make you respect the law. Without borders, having no armies/security forces would only let power to the hands of the first person recreating an army, or leave only 1 "coercitive political power" to make the rules for all, which is potentially extremely dangerous depending on who's at the command. In both case there will be a reactionary response, if a country raise an army, an other will, then another one, an other one, (etc.) and if the sole army of the whole planet turns "against it's population interests" ("Evil") resistance will rise in matters of weeks, civil unrest, manifestations, riots, revolution ...

Then its the wheel of violence starting to roll again.

Sad

So im glad we are talking about utopic ideas, because we can simply assume that me or you or someone else would be a very good and benevolent world leader/dictator.

Smile

But if you didnt know the person trying to be the world leader, would you trust him/his country (Depending on his "ideas") ?

Factors to consider :

1. You have to consider that if you give that stranger free reign, the second he has full power, he will show his true nature whatever it is and let's just say that people trying to get power over the whole world are "rarely" (never) libertarians Tongue

2. And there is no other standing army / political force to counter balance him, meaning he can do whatever the f*** he wants, before the population rise against him (if it does).

My Answer to my own question (yeah i know very pretentious) :

I wouldnt trust anyone with any form of power over the whole globe, even the potentially best human that nature could create. Why ?

If "power" corrupts, then absolute power destroys.

Even the most kind hearted persons would intervene in our current world in some countries (let's say only NK to make it shorter), which would results into probably millions of deaths. And thats if it falls into "good" hands.

An individual utopia would be other individuals dystopia.  Heart

Hence the need for coercitive political balance (3 different links if interested), our current "peace" being mostly reality because every countries knows its in their own best interest to not do anything that could make a WW3 become reality.

Because it would only end with a mutually assured destruction .
