Unalism is the belief in one world government. History
has shown that the true course of human events is towards
greater unification. Within these larger and larger
political units benefits increase. Many times a single
entity has overextended itself and disintegrated, but the
trend continues. Since the early beginnings of human kind
tribes have united into cities, cities into states, and
states into nations. The time has come for humankind to set
aside the evils of factionalism and regionalism. The
eventual outcome is plain to see. Why should we deprive
ourselves and our children of the advantages of single world
government? The world is already tightly interwoven. The
days of being a hermit are lost. In achieving a single world
government now we can only save humankind untold sorrows in
the future.
Unalism is founded on democratic corporatism.
Corporatism is based on the inalterable laws of nature.
Hence the ideology’s ethics are those of evolution. Nature
has dictated that life is eternal struggle. This struggle
forges the strong and destroys the weak. In this manner
natural struggle achieves progress. Reason is both a tool
and a weapon in this conflict, but emotion and action are, as
always, the purposes of life. Corporatists focus on the
whole of humanity as an organism, and look to its survival.
I. Why we need One World Government
There are three broad categories that absolutely
necessitate a unified world government to redress them. Left
unresolved these issues could easily result in the
disillusionment of humankind.
1. Human rights
No one can truly be free while another is unjustly
imprisoned. The slippery slope awaits us all in these
cases. The only solution is self-determinism. Not just for
the white man or the developed nations, but everyone is
entitled to self-determination. The spirit of merit based,
color blind equality and opportunity is a necessary
ingredient for democracy. People must be allowed to choose
their own form of government. People may choose a more
centralized and authoritarian form of government, or a more
socialist mode of economy, or even lesser issues such as
privately bearing arms. The choice is theirs. We as people,
however, cannot condone by our apathy other’s violent
coercion and injustices.
Self-determinism has many features. It requires the
freedom to speak out and the assurance of freedom after
speaking out. It requires the concurrent freedoms of the
press and peaceable assemble, to petition the government for
redress of grievances. Everyone is entitled to the freedom
to peaceable descent with impunity. Everyone is entitled to
the truth. Everyone is entitled to education up to one's
ability, since general information and technology are not the
privilege of a few. Whatever the form of governance, the
majority will must have ultimate access and control.
2. Disarmament
We live in an age that any conflict can escalate into
nuclear holocaust. Armed services are necessary for domestic
control in time of natural disaster and/or rioting. The
current size of the world’s combined militaries far exceeds
what is necessary. In maintaining and expanding the world's
war machines these engines of destruction not only constantly
annihilate and threaten to annihilate people, property, and
our collective history of culture and technology, but they
deprive us of all the things that we could have bought
instead. Virtually every nation labors under defense budgets
that could have gone to art, science, health, or other
fields, but went to making far more military might than is
needed.
The world’s paramilitary espionage services have
sabotaged and undermined legitimate and just nations and
organizations. Add to these long-term, self-defeating
activities the numerous self-inflicted injuries espionage
services produce in their black worlds, they seem almost more
of a liability than an asset.
Military services provide significant employment and
research. These are ancillary, and clearly not justification
for their existence. Employment and scientific research can
best be achieved as ends in themselves, and not in the
process of endangering others.
One united police force under the United Nations is
sufficient.
3. Ecology
Humankind is eroding the web of life that it is reliant
upon. The intricate interrelationships that sustain life on
Earth are not even well understood. Actions taken years ago
by human beings are just now bearing fruit. Inevitably
humankind reaps what it sows. If you sow indifference,
greed, and uncontrolled population growth, you reap disaster,
poverty, pestilence, famine, strife, and eventually death.
For mankind’s own survival the world must be united in
protecting and promoting species and habitats, including
controlling our own population. Humankind must reward
landowners, industry, and individuals who are
environmentalists. Then, for those who endanger everyone, we
must control, have them redress damages, and seek to
rehabilitate them.
II. Format of the New United Nations
The New United Nations concerns itself with
international issues. The General Assembly is the
legislature of true international laws. The Secretary
General executes these laws. The International Court of
Justice adjudicates international laws. Budgeting by the
General Assembly is not permitted deficit spending, except in
times of emergency.
Legislator’s voting power is weighted in terms of Gross
Domestic Product and population, among other factors, of
their respective nations. Preferably an institution of
international single district representative electoral system
will create and maintain two separate, stable, and moderate
political parties. The Secretary General is a popularly
elected office. The nomination of the Secretary General is
by political parties.
1. The International Monetary Fund
The International Monetary Fund regulates a unified
currency. Regional monetary control is achieved by fiat
money purchases of securities, adjusting the prime rate
collectively, or to specific organizations, reserve
requirements, and individual investment loans. These powers,
along with tariff oversight, control economic development.
2. Military and Intelligence Services
All military and intelligence services are incorporated
or disbanded under the executive office of the Secretariat.
All police and law enforcement are under the authority of the
Secretariat. The New United Nations security structure
consists of the Secretariat, the Security Council, and four
subordinate organs. These organs are the Labor Corps,
Interpol, Riot Control, and The Paranormal Defense Force.
A. The Secretariat
The Secretary General is the Chief and Supreme Executive
Officer for law enforcement of international law in
maintenance of world peace and security. All organs of the
New United Nations, besides the General Assembly and the
International Court of Justice, are administered under the
Secretariat.
B. The Security Council
The Security Council acts as a “Joint Chiefs of Staff”
to support the Secretariat.
C. Labor Corps
The Labor Corps trains the populous to be a military
reserve system in support of Riot Control operations,
provides professional development, employment, training, and
political inculcation. Youths are trained in the youth
section of the Labor Corps to a basic level of military
knowledge. Adolescents are engaged in “Scouting” type
activity after academic school for physical training such as
band, outdoorsmanship, and martial arts. The Labor Corps is
equally responsible for teaching civics. Older adolescents
may utilize “Explorer” professional development programs.
Adult members of the Labor Corps are employed in infra-
structural and environmental programs, such as construction
of public transportation systems, and the construction of and
up grading of educational- intellectual facilities and
telecommunications. Labor Corps organizes combined civil
defense / neighborhood crime watches to constitute an
advanced military reserve.
D. Interpol
Interpol is the supreme law enforcement agency.
Interpol’s jurisdiction is unlimited. The scope is
restricted to crimes ‘against humanity’ and those criminal
activities that other levels of administration are not
equipped or effective to control. Interpol also acts as a
legitimate all access intelligence gatherer.
E. Riot Control
Riot Control designates the combined armed services.
Riot Control acts as a “National Guard” to protect citizens
in times of emergency, such as natural disaster and civil
disturbance. All standard combat arms and configurations,
including, where feasible, heavy weapons, rapid reaction, and
force projection capable units are included.
F. The Paranormal Defense Force
The Paranormal Defense Force exists to counter abnormal
and extraordinary threats. They are authorized to conduct
covert operations. Members are selected from Riot Control.
They are the most loyal, best trained, and highest elite. The
Paranormal Defense Force is highly budgeted. Members are
well paid and pensioned. They possess an independent
material command to facilitate rapid deployment and freedom
of action. Their organic material command includes equipment
development.
III. Programs of the New United Nations
The United Nations’ Economic and Social Council
administers many of these programs.
1. Economic
Economics have been, and most likely will continue to
be, the engine driving lasting world unification.
Consistently when protectionist fears are overridden the
public begins to enjoy the benefits of international trade.
Lower prices, higher quality and variety, with all other
factors being equal, results in the majority of the
population being more content.
A. Free Trade
Since The Wealth of Nations was published the path to
prosperity has been clear. When those best suited to produce
a product produce it the product is necessarily the highest
quality for the lowest legitimate price. When open borders
(free from superfluous tariffs) allow the flow of products to
compete in the free market everyone wins. Tariffs can only
be justified to protect an infant industry for a reasonable
amount of time. Welfare subsidies to business and protection
only weaken business, lower quality, and raise prices.
B. Standards
Standardization is beneficial to trade. Standardization
prevents the waste of time and effort on conversion. Variety
is necessary and beneficial in complex devices and
organizations to elicit competition and evolution. In
arbitrary matters such as weights and measures there is no
justification for complexity. The metric system is superior
to the standard system, and is therefore universal.
Standardization improves efficiency by promoting
interchangeablilty and simplification. The standardized
currency also integrates world economies.
C. Synergism with Human Rights
The right to own property and to profit from one’s labor
is the surest form of economic development. The profit
motive in capitalist markets is an inexhaustible power supply.
2. Knowledge
Knowledge is the heritage of all humankind. Therefore,
knowledge is an obligation of the individual and government.
The obligation is to endeavor to accurately increase,
distribute, and apply knowledge. With this obligation comes
the inherent right to know the truth and to an education.
Knowledge not only is an obligation, but it is power.
Research, education, and development are in any nation’s
highest self-interest to pursue. In this endeavor humankind
is fortunate in that the qualities of ideas are unlike that
of physical property. The more ideas are used and exchanged,
the more they grow. Rationalism is the special ability
separating human beings and all other creatures. Therefore,
all non-rational organizations are taxed. The United
Nations’ Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
oversees information systems and education.
A. Universal Education
Society can little afford to lose the potential of its
human resources by denying anyone the opportunity of an
education. Education up to one's ability is provided. The
entire educational system is designed in order to prepare
students for the work force. A standardized curriculum of
science, with math as a foundation, and history are the
achedemic base. Physical education is conducted in after
academics programs. These after academics programs are an
integrated part of the overall education system.
B. Universal Language
A single world language as a universal medium is highly
beneficial. The benefits are in cultural exchange and
understanding, and research for all persons. Public
education provides students with a single common language.
All persons know two languages, one of which is English.
English has been chosen for many reasons. Of
approximately two hundred nations world wide, English has
official or special status in at least seventy-five
countries, with a total population of over two billion out of
six billion total. English is spoken as a first language by
around 320 to 372 million, and as a second language by around
235 to 370 million speakers in the world. One out of four of
the world's population, 1,200 to 1,500 million speak English
to some level of competence. Demand from the other three-
quarters is increasing. English is the main language of
books, newspapers, airports and air-traffic control,
international business and academic conferences, science,
technology, diplomacy, sport, international competitions, pop
music, and advertising. Over two-thirds of the world's
scientists read in English. Three quarters of the world's
mail is written in English. Eighty percent of the world's
electronically stored information is in English. Of the
estimated forty million users of the Internet, some eighty
percent communicate in English. At any one time, there are
120,000 students learning English and other skills through
the medium of English in British Council teaching centers
world-wide. By the year 2000 it is estimated that over one
billion people will be learning English. English has been
spread worldwide by colonization, missionary action,
industrialization, the communications revolution, and
military occupation, and basing. (From David Crystal, The
Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, Cambridge
University Press, 1995; English as a Global Language,
Cambridge University Press, 1997; David Graddol, The Future
of English?, London, The British Council, 1997.)
There are other reasons for choosing English as a
universal language. Forty-eight percent of the world’s
population already speaks an Indo-European language. English
is a member of this family. Learning English would be easier
for those who speak an Indo-European language. English is
superior to artificial languages. Esperanto is the world’s
leading artificial language. Esperanto is estimated at being
spoken by between 100,000 and 10 million speakers. Professor
Sidney S. Culbert of the University of Washington, Seattle,
USA conducted a language survey. From his data, two million
people fluently speak Esperanto of which for 1,000 it is
their native tongue. Clearly an existing language spoken by
much larger numbers of people would be a better universal
language candidate. English, also, is well developed, with
its own literature and words with specific meanings difficult
to translate.
There are impediments to English being universalized.
Mandarin or northern dialect Chinese is officially the
language of 885 million Chinese. This would make it
numerically the most spoken language, English being the
second. Mandarin, however, is very centralized and not
dispersed across the world in the same manor as English.
Nativism, the eternal enemy of progress, is particularly
antagonistic with relation to language. The final impediment
to universality comes from English’s success. Fracturing of
English is threatened from British versus American disputes,
localization of language, and computing that simultaneously
stabilizes and creates dialect. The final solution is to
develop a standard English, via an annual world
conference.
C. Universal Information Access
All people are entitled to freely access all information
in the public domain. Scientific achievements, art, and
history are not to be restricted or abridged. Libraries with
modern telecommunication and internet access, like education,
are intended to be available to all. An educated and
informed public is necessary for the health of the body
politic, and the future economic status of any people.
D. International Research Projects
The New United Nations engages in “Big Science” in a
manner that no individual, company, or nation is capable.
The human genome, human research, experimental particle
physics, and purely scientific space research are all
projects that are enormously costly, and may, or may not,
show applications. The questions asked in these projects and
others are still worthwhile endeavors in the pursuit of
knowledge itself.
E. Synergism with Economic Standardization
Economic standardization will assist the expansion and
distribution of knowledge. Free trade increases cultural
diffusion and evolution, besides providing goods. This
condition in return increases a society’s ability to adapt
and innovate. Standardization increases the amount and
quality of information, because none is lost in
conversion.
3. Universal Employment
Universal employment is the best compromise of all
economic possibilities. Individual locations due to
tradition and resources necessitate different degrees of
state employment determined by appropriate levels of
administration. The necessity of universal employment arises
from the failing inherent in the capitalist system. The
natural impulse of industry is to seek out and manipulate a
plentiful, and therefore cheap labor force. The resultant
poor and unemployed require welfare to bind them to the
system. Communist and socialist systems fail in not
providing a profit motive. Without the profit motive, in the
majority of cases, apathy prevails. Since it is morally and
economically superior to employ persons with public funds,
and in the end possess a product, than it is to institute
welfare, and in the end possess a welfare lobby, the choice
is obvious. A dual system promoting private industry and
public employment is provided. Public employment sets a
minimum standard of living while retaining capitalism in the
economy.
In late adolescence all youth, male and female, are
conscripted. Precise age and duration are determined by
appropriate levels of administration. Political franchise
may require successful completion of conscripted term. All
qualified conscripts possess the opportunity to choose
between the Labor Corps and Riot Control.
4. Space Exploration
Outer space holds mankind’s opportunity for advancement
in science, intellect, and economy. Space exploration
is “Big Science”, as well as a replacement for military-
industrial complexes. Permanent colonization and detection
of other intelligences are the ultimate goal.
5. Population Control
The World Health Organization oversees the population
program of the New United Nations. Nation-states administer
reproductive licenses in order to adjust their respective
populations in accordance with their sustainable
environmental carrying capacity. Licensing and nation-state
regulations of immigration, emigration, sustainable
agricultural output, along with purchasing power, provide a
secure foundation for sustainable progress. The following
are the universal minimum guidelines designed to work in
conjunction with a conversion of welfare to workfare in order
to prevent the development of a dysethnic, dependent, non-
producing class.
Due to overpopulation, all persons of adult age, not
mentally retarded, psychoticly mentally ill, or a career
criminal, are eligible for a transferable license entitling bearer
to combine their license with another to procreate. The
license, unless used, is effective until bearer becomes
mentally retarded, psychoticly mentally ill, or is found
guilty of three felonies. Social defectives; the mentally
retarded, psychoticly mentally ill, or career criminals are
permanently sterilized or euthenasiaed. Violation may result
in abortion, temporary or permanent sterilization,
imprisonment, and fines.
Heavy taxes are levied on procreation. These taxes
provide cost-free genetic screening, counseling, and
engineering, contraceptive devices, sterilization and
abortion services, and research in genetics and reproductive
technology. Genetic screening is catalogued, analyzed and
required for mandatory personal identification. The
education and public information systems distribute sex,
environmental, euethnic, and eugenic information materials.
IV. The Opposition to One World Government
Unalism is anathema to obscuranists, megalomaniac petty
potentates and fanatics of many varieties. Many people fear
bureaucratic inefficiency and abuse of power from a world
government. A respect for the supremacy of law,
institutional division of power, and a strong and free media
are the best safeguards against these threats. Unalism's
means is to educate and recruit in order to achieve its goals.
