Elaboration 70

This statement may evoke discussion. It has been usual for revolutions to smash up things first. But then, you are stuck with the ruins. Building on ruins is far more difficult than piece-meal improvement of intact buildings, as the French revolution showed by the guillotination of the selfsame revolutionaries. Wells and Spencer mentioned the disadvantages of a fundamental change, in well-established standards like the width of a railway e.g. Indeed, choosing a wider one would be costly and could have been avoided by thinking better the first time. But history shows that, like the change in width of a railway that is cheaper than destroying all first and 'then' build anew, in revolutions, habitually, the integer, well-willing, intelligentsia were always killed first, making the new dictatorship void of capable persons and wise counsel. It is why in World War 2, the Russians had such a bad time because the experienced generals and higher officers, had been exterminated. All this can only lead to the conclusion that in order to establish a (proper) world-government, we must NOT start shooting, raping, killing, devastating. We must first of all stick-by, and support fully, our own local (national) police force. This goes for garbage collection and disposal as well as for health services and even the illegal juridical system too. We should regard those as preliminary social ordering, an ordering just one step over random, over jungle law. We want to go some more steps than that. First a world government, then, by the inevitably improved (world) education, we gradually get young citizens coming of age, that are 'mentally' improved so that many of the laws still in operation from older times (today) can be relaxed. In the end, all citizens will be naturally rational, and the laws and customs will get very, very, flimsy and transparent, yet adamant of fundamentality, a natural code for everybody. Enough blood has flown already, for man's sake. Sanity, we shall achieve bloodlessly. No rape, slaughter, devastation is required for that, only education, or ... propaganda.
