The Abolition of War in Our Lifetime
Learn how progressives can end war and ecocide
through global democracy.
In this crucial moment of history, the boldest leaders are those who are speaking out for the total abolition of war. Humankind is at a crucial turning point where the indignities of war, and the deployment of weapons of mass desctruction in the preparation for war, are widely seen as no longer tolerable.
The inability of the world’s political elites to stem the tide of the global war machine is no longer acceptable.
The cynical mindset according to which humans are inherently and helplessly warlike—-is no longer tenable.
The international anarchy that allows polluters to destroy the global environment with impunity can no longer be permitted. One Planet shows why the solution is global law-—a government of all humankind.
Join This Century's Greatest Movement
Create planetary justice through enforceable global laws
passed by a parliament of the world's peoples.
Now is the time. You can choose now to commit to the greatest political revolution in history—-the democratic revolution to create enforceable global law.
This revolution will put an end, once and for all, to the war system that is the greatest scourge facing humankind-—and will regulate globalization to ensure labor rights and environmental protection everywhere in the world.
In this movement, "world peace" is not a vague and utopian goal-—but a practical, enduring peace with justice. The goal of "One Planet" will be achieved through global laws created by a world legislature and enforced by a people’s world government. In this future world democracy, the executive branch will be strictly limited by a separation of powers, and by world courts, a world constitution, and a global bill of rights.
We truly can create "the parliament of world, the government of mankind" as the English poet Tennyson prophetically envisioned it in the nineteenth century. This book shows exactly how the goal of "One Planet" can be achieved in your lifetime—-a worthy goal for all progressives.
"Today we must develop federal structures on a global level. We need a system of enforceable world law—-a democratic federal world government—-to deal with world problems." --Walter Cronkite
"The UN now and world government eventually must serve one single goal—-the guarantee of the security, tranquility, and the welfare of all mankind." --Albert Einstein
