An idea can be maintained even when it doesn't exist in the physical world. I'm not talking about one world government, in fact, I think governments and countries are much too powerful and much too big. I don't think a single country should have 1.5 billion people in it or even 300 million. That concentrates way too much power into the hands of a single person or small group and corruption and baloney ensue. I'm not talking about homogenization, I'm talking about the basic reality of human existence. People are 99.99% the same the world over, people have a right to pursue the best life they can, we work best when we work together, without actual rules and laws and justice it all falls apart into corruption. Once there is a basic, fair, dependable, secure base then people can be as different as they want to be. When the USA or the UK or anyone else goes off the rails, it's wrong to say, 'it's the USA or the UK doing it so it must be right because they're democracies.' It's right to say that 'this is what a democracy would do in this situation and the USA or the UK is wrong.' It isn't my country right or wrong. It's my country doing right or doing wrong and we know the difference.
