The World Economy of the Future

    Why would any state wish to maintain a military force to defend itself if it could be guaranteed security and defense by an outside military with a massive military force? Why would it need a diplomatic service if an outside government  agency could conduct diplomatic operations for it for a large union of states? If enough states unite worldwide, war and diplomacy worldwide would fade away and individual states would have sacrificed two sovereign powers now totally useless.  States in the worldwide union would be sovereign enough to assure freedom and democracy for themselves and for every citizen and every state in the union. Full state sovereignty would at last be seen for what it is, a means for a  ruthless exercise of power against state citizens and against all the citizens of all the other fully sovereign states in the world.

   How can this worldwide limitation of sovereign power come about? What state would agree to it? What state would give up its power to be independent and sovereign and become by joining the American union “a colony of America”? A state that is not afraid of the train because as soon as any state becomes an American state the train comes with it. The American economic, legal and political train. A new state would get a train roaring down the tracks into its territory right away. All American corporations blowing their whistles rushing noisily down the tracks greedy as usual to employ everyone they need to stuff their pockets with more money. The federal police from Washington hunting for interstate criminals and corrupt politicians to put into federal jails. Interference almost daily from federal agencies in Washington in the workings of their state agencies. The federal court system hearing appeals from citizens and overturning state laws that violate universal principles of human rights. The federal military, the federal navy and air force, the federal spy agencies, the federal tax agencies, the federal banking system, and on the train too people of every race in the world, American citizens, eager to buy property, eager to open businesses, eager to be citizens both of their new state and of the United States. The only serious model for the full development of the world economy is already operating in the fifty states of the American union. The union needs to be extended by adding more states. Every state everywhere should apply for admission to the US Congress which has the right to admit them. Everyone who wants a  new creative and prosperous and free world economy should get on the train.
