The new reality There are
three typical reactions about the necessity and urgency for the «Republic of
the Earth» as worldwide government directly elected by the inhabitants of the
Earth: people either aren’t aware, don’t understand or pretend not to
understand. Who isn’t aware perceives the national state as the only possible and
necessary kind of territory sovereignty and considers the territory were
he/she was born as private and exclusive property of the group he/she is part
of. Obviously there is no problem when it’s the case of expropriating land or
taking away other people’s resources. Those who don’t understand imagine a worldwide inter-state government
meant as a «super-state» or better «united states of the world». Those who
believe such hypothesis is unrealistic and dangerous, because such an entity
would be an empire with the power to take any decision even if cruel
justifying it with the welfare of humanity, are right. The worldwide
government of a supranational state made up of all national states would mean
to institutionalize the hegemony of the most powerful state on the others.
History and recent events teach this. Those
who pretend they don’t understand know that a worldwide government
democratically elected by all the inhabitants of the world would have
authoritativeness higher than the one of the national states and their international
organizations. They Know that such a body would affect positively the
relations between the peoples and states of the whole planet and would allow
to achieve peace, justice freedom and wellbeing for all. It would be the end
of all hegemonies on the peoples, the end of privileges and poverty, of
ideologies and myths. It would be the hope. It’s a
dream, a fantasy, an illusion, and a utopia: this is what those who want to
keep things as they are say. But, unfortunately, reality isn’t a dream and is
made of 6 and a half billion human beings, three quarters forced to live in
bad conditions. And since it’s at least thirty years that it’s possible to
make those who live badly live better without making those who live well get
in worse conditions, sooner or later a change will be necessary. Then, if it
will still be possible, everyone will wish to join the dream, the idea, of
the new reality proposed by the Republic of the Earth. The new reality can’t be imposed
or determined from who proposes but has to be perceived as necessary and
useful from the bottom, from those who work and produce and also from those
who would like to do so. Let’s hope it’s not too late. Thursday, 2 March 2006. Rodolfo Marusi Guareschi P.O. Box 66 – IT- RE 380 - 42049
