A World without States - Dago Steenis - Bog

Humanity is still living in the transitioning period from an animalistic to a humane existence. This is characterized by matters including war, violence and inhumanity. It is not surprising. Today the entire surface of the earth is divided into states, and communities that only care for their own interests. It is exactly this system of states that obstructs a fast and effective approach to large problems such as lasting peace, security and the habitability of the world. They are, after all, global problems. The system of states divides humanity into hostile units and has established a political barrier for a solution to the problem. There is only one solution for this problem and that is ending the sovereignty of the 193 states. Retain the right for private political policies, take away the ability to bully and threaten other countries, to own armed forces, to commit inhumane crimes. But who should govern us? A world government! A government that merely focuses on world problems. Because the solution to these problems is more important than local issues. Without a global authority humanity is left empty-handed. Dago Steenis (1925) wrote a remarkably positive book, something that is actually more than a book, it is a thought that can be passed on. Not like a pamphlet, but based on his speech. According to Steenis history cannot be a linear concept, not a static process, without progress. On the contrary. History precisely demonstrates that we have a reason to be optimistic, developments of mankind are evolutionary, and an increasing form of human growth and potency. Since the emergence of culture man gradually replaced natural evolution by cultural evolution.
