Here's thje big problem with ANY form of one-world government. Nations appear to be nature's hedge against man's sheep instinct. In other words, nations are the only means we have of comparing different political ideas.

The CCCP broke up mainly because the gebeshniki who ran the place were able to get over to Marienplatze and that shopping mall in the center of Koeln and see ordinary Germans buying things which they, the masters of the commie system, could not own and the idea freaked them. Had that basis of comparison not been there, i.e. had the whole world gone communist in the 1930's which it easily could have, then Russia would be a barren waste today. The KGB types would have had no way of knowing that they were doing something wrong. If everybody was starving, they'd have simply figured "Such is man's lot in this life' and all gone over the cliff together.

Likewise, had one-world government been instituted directly aafter WW-II, we'd all still be driving 5000-lb. cars with tailfins. Did you ever drive one of those monstrosities?

Your "problem" would not apply to a monoethnic colony world. Such a one-world government would be as natural for that planet as the federation government of the 50 states we call the United States of America. Nations are not effective ways to compare political ideas, a truly natural state is simply a basic police/military/court-administrative body. It has no social welfare, education, medicare or what have you wings to it. As such the people are free to be the people. However such a government is incompatable with a Christian society just as it would be to a leftist-oriented atheist society. Such societies believe the government should champion a complex higher ideal or morality and thus they will always devolve into chaos or mediocrity. A major part of the reason why the US is stagnating in some areas is that it is stuck with the false dichotomy of having to choose between the religion right and atheist left. Between those two sides, the parasites have a field day sucking dry those with innovative minds and talents.

On the subject of social parasites versus creators I would submit that Marilyn Manson is less of a social parasite than any televangelist or green shirt (brown shirt meets environmentalism). Say what you will about him, but he creates jobs and raises tax revenues peacefully by providing a means to collect sales tax. He lives on the product of his musical and business skills, not the kindness of strangers which is what most televangelists and green shirts do. I have more respect for the merchant or creator that creates jobs than I do for the majority of academia, clergy and xyz-rights activists.
