In these postings, I wish to respectfully propose a comprehensive change--though not by any means a revolution. It is an alteration which can and should be accomplished with no violence or bloodshed. Power shall not be snatched from anyone, nor suddenly attained by anyone. My poroposal entails, in fact, neither a destruction nor a taking--but, rather, merely a conversion--of power; from the many governments ruling the present confusing, confused, bickering, disarrayed agglomeration which is today's world, to a unified model of super-efficiency and super-capability, which will effectively serve the needs of that for which government and its institutions exist: civilization, mankind, life, and the world.
I refer to the movement which I herein advocate as "World Unity"; and the general state of affairs which will result from the steps which I will describe herein: "Universality." Universality is defined in the English dictionary as "a quality of universal comprehensiveness and unrestricted versatility." I have adopted theses terms as generic significations of that which I describe and call for.
I use the term "factionalism" to refer to the opposite of Universality--the "enemy," if you will. Thus, for the purposes of what will appear herein, factionalism is the opposite of Universality; and is to be avoided and corrected, wherever it appears to constitute danger to the peace and well-being of civilization and mankind. Of course, I do not mean to be girdeed, trapped, or "locked in," by definitions (dictionary or otherwise) of any words or terms. I simply resort to them, and set them forth herein, as "tools," or "handles," for the sake of convenience and clarity in these urgings, and that which will, hopefully, eventually follow.
I envision a great improvement in our world, if the simple steps which I propose herein be taken. For, in removing factionalism from our daily lives and thought, we are not removing or destroying any person, place, or thing; rather, we are simply removing or omitting a harmful and unnecessary concept. This removal or omission will result in the elimination of that which has all along been the basis--a needless and useless basis--for most of the conflicts which we have come to regard as normal, inevitable, and even necessary. In discarding the concept of national autonomy as a sacred ideal for which lives and blood are to be spent, a nation shall not be thus yielding to another nation. Rather, it shall be simply joining with its fellow nations, in a forward and upward progression; whereby a more worthwhile concept and more deserving entities (i.e., civilization, mankind, life, and the world) shall be beneficiary of our common efforts.
