#4That's no different than saying I believe we need world peace. It's not a very interesting thing to say. If you have an idea how to bring this about then that would interesting to read - a probable process of creating a world government.

#5It’s an interesting idea.
I know that both Carl Bildt (Swedish politician) and Bard/Söderqvist (Swedish authors) have been thinking about this.
I’m not convinced though. There are so many Trumps, Erdogans, Orbans etc in the world and too many people who enable them.

Not if this entity is publicly and totally surveilled with all its members.

#7Governments are at their core, service providers. Monopolies tend not to provide good services. And when the world government abuses you, you will have nowhere else to go.

#8Climate change etc. should be handled by international agreements.
If there is no competition between countries, governments tend to turn their despotic energies on their own citizens. There would be nowhere for Snowden or Assange to go. If your social credit score is ruined, it is ruined worldwide.
The military would be used to suppress the population. I'm very certain that a world government would turn into a Stalinist hell very quickly.

IMHO, EU is a good example. However, it’s limited in both scope and area. Which is a good thing IMHO.
