    What this planet needs is a Magna Carta of sorts that limits the power of all people, corporations or other entities or groups. Simple as that. We need limits! Extreme inequality will ALWAYS breed civil unrest.

      Guys we just need a totally non corrupt world supergovernment that limits the power of the rich and the incentive they have to do this is “because it’s the right thing to do”

      ???

        Supergovernment? Putting words into people’s mouths, I see.

        We limited the power of monarchs, why would it be wrong to do that for all powerful people and entities? I say that we need to do it for exactly the same reasons. Limits to power is healthy for everyone, even the super rich. My logic holds true. Does yours?

        But I like your idea of a world government because, you know why?.. we need to work together rather than against each other. Let’s end zero sum game theory.

          Lol. Lmao.

          I’m not exactly saying you’re wrong, this is just extremely naïve thinking.

          The reason the power of monarchs was reigned in wasn’t because we didn’t like the idea of monarchs or absolute power anymore.

          The power of monarchs was either usurped by the emerging bourgeoisie, or was given up because they were scared.

          To do what you want, a different group or class would have to take the power from the current ruling capitalist class.

          The options are:

          Some sort of weird authoritarian government, which would basically just replicate the same economic class disparity.

          Or, the working class taking the power from the capitalist class, in a non hierarchal organisational structure.
