It is a new day, and the very survival of the human species and the planet as we know them is on the line. The human species is commander of its own destiny now, in todays world. We have to learn to take control of more than our economies which is very complicated. More than most realize. We have to take control of everything! Our ecology, pollution, population control, AGW, and on and on. Everything. So the idea of a libertarian world is no longer even possible. To survive as a species, we need to function as one people on one planet. We need a united states of the world. So we can keep population increase checked, pollution in check, ecologies in check. Everything. We need planners to work all this stuff out and supportive populations who know what is at stake. I have had so many deiscussions with people who simply do not understand the problems or solutions. What the trick is going to be, is doing that without an Orwellian outcome! Which is exactly where the right wing is going, ironically by helping the plutocrats gain even more power to destroy us.
