It’s now or never!

Climate change, global heating, ecological degradation, nuclear proliferation, trade wars, global blocs, wars in the Middle East, and in geo-strategic Ukraine, and a the looming threat of Taiwan, global rising levels of unplayable debt, deadly and Devastating pandemics, global health crisis, global legal inequalities, hunger and poverty, unstable levels of immigration, Cyber warfare, and dangerous technologies, education polarization, and global ignorance to all of these issues, as well as irrational denial, and elitist irresponsibility. We are truly in an age where our collective actions will determine our collective fate… the challenges humanity, and all life on earth face on this is beyond the capabilities of any one nation, nor League of Nations. In so far as the movement of cosmopolitanism is concerned, I personally don’t think that the current organization are going far enough: they aren’t seeking state power, nor are they formally uniting with each other and consolidating or merging their organization with other like minded organizations like the UN and the Red Cross, and other NGO’s that may not directly be involved in the cosmopolitanism movement, but when analyzed critically, interests converge …. Nor have I seen a marketing campaign to publicize a book or a bunch of books but importantly one book that embodies this idea, and the philosophy behind it, as well as the political pragmatic approach to achieving such a state: a political philosophy that is hailed by academics as being the future, a source of hope in these trying times, and a direction to believe in, as though it were the ultimate destiny of humanity, which I believe it is, unless we go extinct beforehand. A book to persuade and ‘free’ public opinion from the cave (a reference to Plato’s allegory the cave). However, without state power or importantly the consent of the public, this idea will smoulder on the margins of society. We must organize, and create a international party, we must create a universal league or body, an organization like a government, in the sense that there are leaders, treasury officials, officials who are elected by party members, it must take the shape of a government. Moreover, We must have personal In every country, who will get into government power, and they can sign into law, a act that transfers powers to this new state, in transaction for this new states benefits! Dm to discourse.

What's your opinion of a united earth?

According to most other sources related to cosmopolitanism I have found, it has not only been about equal moral worth, but also that all human beings should be members of a single community? That is especially my reason for coming here, since I believe that while the idea of a united earth might be a pipe dream, it's at least a good one.
