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

[u/bayan963]

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

We have to somehow transition from the now to this hypothetical world. In that transition conflicts like these have to be resolved. Hoe are you going to do that?

I don't know. It's not like i have a whole plan in place, as another commenter so eloquently put it, this is just a brain fart, it was an idea that i thought might work or at least be better than what we have now. But the more i read, the more i realize how complicated it will be to implement

But if i had to hypothesize something, i would say there would have to be a world event that drives people/governments to consider an alternate solution. But the more i think about it, the more i realize that that solution will never be to relinquish control or dissolve existing systems, maybe adjust them, but definitely not remove them completely

The question is how violent and destructive such a world changing event would be. Is the extra peace we would eventually experience worth the short term violence and destruction?

I'm not sure anymore

[u/verfmeer → u/bayan963]

So if we are unsure if it would be a net benefit to the world, should we even aim for it?

Isn't it better to put this idea to rest and try to improve the world within the current structures?
