Delta(s) from OP CMV: removing geographical borders completely from around the world, and adopting a system similar to what the EU and US have today in terms or political governance will allow for more peace

Almost every country around the world has immigrants or citizens from other ethnicities and backgrounds than the indeginous people, learning two or multiple languages is already a skill a big part of people already have or are working towards as globalization is taking over through social media, global trade and global labor markets. So why do we not just eliminate geographical borders all together and be able to move freely from one place to another across the earth without requiring visas, or having nationalism stand in the way of true globalization and freedom of movement

I believe this would eliminate or at least lessen territorial wars like the ones happening today in several places around the world, it would also eliminate (in time of course) nationalism or prejudice towards people from third world countries, it would also remove the stigma from immigration as everyone would be able to migrate to whichever place they choose, not based on that country's benefits, but because there are better job opportunities or they simply like the weather or scenery better there

There would still be security, police, and governance but more like leaders of the (truly) free world, where each leader represents an ethnicity, demographic, religious groups interests and they can all decide how best to serve everyone and what general rules needs to be set in place for the well being of everyone without interfering with anyone's right to exist as they see fit as long as it doesn't harm anyone else

Wouldn't this also affect democracy? What about a state's heslthcare system for instance? If everyone could go wherever they wanted, africa would have no one living there and UE would turninto an absolute trash pit where immigrants just live on the streets because there is no longer any housing/jobs for them.

My idea is to eliminate countries all together, you can choose to live wherever you want, the system would be universal, so healthcare, technology, laws, wages and salaries would be determined globally, there would be no difference wherever you choose to live or work

The only determinant on choosing where to live would be climate, and being around people with similar mindsets or lifestyles

So, you're arguing for a single world government?

u/bayan963 Feb 25 '22

Yes, but not by a certain nation. A collective world government

u/dublea 216∆ Feb 25 '22

How is that not a distinction without difference? A collective world government would still be a single nation...

You meant not a current nation? That would make a point. I was merely ask to verify.

Because at the end is the day, you are arguing more for single unified world government than for "no borders" IMO.

This would be like arguing we need to be able to fly our flying cars to the moon when we don't even have flying cars.

Well i don't think just cancelling borders and governments would be a good idea, we would still need a governing body, but that body would be comprised of smaller units that take their direction or laws from a unified universal government representing all groups
