The world in Constituencies

This is really cool Lewis.  A great starting point for initiating global socialism.  We will start by assessing needs within the newly created districts.  Then we can begin organization of the One World Socialist Order and have  the UN redistribute wealth on a global scale so that everyone's basic needs are met: housing, clean water, enough food, free education and freedom of worship.  

Marx is right.  It is inevitable.  It's an idea that will never die and will win eventually.  From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.  So doable.  Will happen.

All in all it would cost maybe 20% of the current US defense budget, or roughly $100 bil. per year to meet the basic human rights of the world's population.  This is so doable.  If we can only get the righties to stop howling about putting blue helmets on our troops we could get to work.  Give it...maybe fifty years.

I am saddened by the fact that you're probably not joking...you can't just pour money on problems and expect them to disappear.

And what's so bad about self-governance and letting peoples run their own countries the way they want?

My response is that a global federal system will of course include exensive guarantees of regional rights.  Self-governance will be the rule, the exception, rarely used to resolve inter-regional disputes will be the Global UN Fegeration Government.  The system will only work if we are past the tribal warfare stage of human deveolpment and evolution.

The other point is that you cannot just sit idly by seeing the enormous problems and expect them to disappear.  Is global suffering to be the rule of the day then?  Have you no compassion for those less fortunate than yourself?

You are currently working on a map for us aren't you Lewis.  *Looks up hopefully*

I love maps.

I love maps.

I hereby appoint you my mapmaker.

Arrrgh!  As though I have time!  I only wish.  After I finish law school I will devote myself to changing the world and solving it's problems, starting with making a working map for the Global UN Federation based on the provinces you suggested.  10 million per vote sounds workable.  For convenience's sake 7-13 million for regional boundaries.

hoo boy...first I have to learn some HTML or something.  This is going to be a labor of love, but still a totally labor-intensive trudge through the atlases.  Geography Nut Man to the rescue!

I might have time when I retire.  When I finish law school they are really going to put me to work.  Can this wait thirty years?
