Can Democracy Exist In A Unified And Peaceful World?

Question

I just got thinking and I noticed that in a world where there is Democracy, that each political party must have it's followers and these followers do not believe in the other parties beliefs and hence may become enraged at the other party and so on possibly causing a relapse making the world into x amount of countries again. So can Democracy work in a unified world and how would it work?

Answer 1

Nope, the sad news no matter how perfect the system is on paper it doesnt not take into account with the already existing problem of a majority corupt government.

long as the people have some voting power, they can be manipulated and lied to and tricked, so the best person at being dishonest wins and with the bigest wallet from donations from your local oil company.

In the areas were people have no control in the government its a free for all war, even within individual sides, the top jobs has the best money and the least amount of work, long as you are great at lieing. So bribing, taking sides, covering for each other so u can get favors and move up the rank is natural and comon business.

Corporations have been doing business with governments for years, because they know your modern democratic soceity is no diferent from your local miltary dictator, pay them enough and they will most certainly look the other way, sure there are laws that politicians cant get bribed, but its already proven, many bank funds traced back on the maximum donation amounts, all feed back and link to a comon company.

There was a research report made into the American government, which counted all the convicted politicians who were found to be acepting bribes and overlooking the law for beneficial gain. The report concluded the American government has been steadly increasing the amount of convicted politicians each year and believes it is only cuting the surface as most politicians only end up infront of a judge if the parties concerned a truly dedicated, which leads u to think the courts themselves openly turn a blind eye to crimes within the government.

Seriously would u honestly pay for your workers lets say a transport company, pay for your driver and loaders to sit in a room all day and argue with each other? i havent seen anyone in history prove a bunch of people yelling in a room were nothing they say anyone cares about or watches is worth our tax dollars.

Long as we have greed in the system it is impossible to have a fully functional government, long as we remain individuals, it is impossible for everyone to be ruled under 1 government and 1 set of laws, because the laws will be fine with some, tolerable for some and well not aceptable to others, resulting in lots of nasty stuff as the pages of history show.

most people i meet cant even tell me how their tax payer dollars have directly benefited them, in any form or capacity, but its fairly easy to see were our tax payer dollars are being spent and waisted, when a boss can see his workers not working, thats a sign its time to warn them to get their **** into gear and how long have governments been clowning around? since the begining ot the word politician.

Answer 2

What is a unified world? The world is composed of many countries, each with their own customs and traditions. Trying to impose a universal set of rules would be unpopular and unnecessary, and I cannot see any benefit.

In the countries where democracy is most established (US, Canada, Europe, Australasia, Japan etc) there is never any significant level of political violence. Often we see political violence in countries where there is no democracy, or where democracy is young in the trail of autocratic rule.

This question seems to be suggesting that there should be an autocratic dictator running the worlds affairs, a situation which is unthinkable.

If there was a "unified world", which there will not be then democracy could work in the same way as the US works, whereby there is a state government and also a federal goverment.

At the end of the day democracy is more likely to lead to peace than any imperial or autocratic system as there is always a peaceful means to achieve political goals.

Answer 3

If democracy does exist in the west it exists because of the interests of certain groups.
It seems unlikely to me that these groups will be tolerant of others having their way- hence why we have laws which are biased against freedoms of some or even the majority.

Road safety for example has become dominated by certain interest groups from 'worried mothers' to construction workers on one side and the motorist on the other.
I can't see human beings ever resolving an interest in a true democratic way that each has an equal say.

Answer 4

Yes....

You can be unified but have political differences, having political differences doesn't have to mean conflict, especially if your living in a true democracy when people are treated as equals and have equal rights, so there is no need for discontent.

In fact I think democracy promotes a unified and peaceful world. Because if you have a totalitarian state, yes its unified but it's forced so thats when discontent will start to occur...then eventually conflict.

Answer 5

Yes, Democracy can work and does work.

It is no coincidence that the strongest nations on our planet are democratic. Democratic countries are innovative, you'd be hard pressed to name a modern innovation that was not developed in a democratic country.

While it is true, democratic countries are divisive, in reality all nations have dividing lines, it is just that in autocratic countries there is only the illusion of "unity". That illusion is maintained by imprisoning or punishing dissent.

Democracy is hard work, and it takes great care and patience to genuinely take root and propser, but of all forms of government it tends to produce the most prosperity and overall happiness.

We still have a long way to go of course, and the current trend of extremely-partisan media and journalism is disturbing, but in the end free thought, and the independent mind will prevail, and democracy will survive.

It has to survive, it is mankind's only hope for true, meaningful peace and prosperity in this world.

If that makes me naive, then I am proud to be naive.

Answer 6

it cant work as puting that power in few hands would only create tyrany , the goals of the elitests and most powerful people on the planet is to create world government , they are half way there all the unions that have been created around the world will eventually be unified to create world government not good .

where there is man (humans) that dont live any moral set of rules there will allways be problems , im not religous but the more i see the more i realise man cannot rule itself as no matter how good a person is if you put him or her in a position of power they will more often be corrupted .

the ideologies of the elites is literally satanism , they basically dont recognise god and beleive they are there own gods and that they shouldnt care about walking over there fellow man etc .

Answer 7

There would still be countries, as one unification can never exist. Democracy can work though, even if there are two different parties. Just because there are opposing views does not mean violence will result from it.

Answer 8

I was going to answer but the question is the wrong way round IE can a peaceful world exist blah blah blah

Answer 9

Democracy is based on tolerance. We often don't like one another but we don't resort to violence. At least we didn't until George Bush became dictator.

Answer 10

There are dishonest; crude, rude and dangerous persons in all parties---while this may seem overgeneralizing, after a while of Republican policy, enactment of that policy and years and years of being subject to that policy, it would become obvious.
