Federation is not assimilation

UN-aligned and the super-state...

Here is another reply to one of the questions in the FAQ section of UN-aligned. It clarifies that UN-aligned does not hope to create a super-state, but a federation of nations that are committed to the basic principles of justice, peace and respect for the planet. 


Isn't a super-state more dangerous than the divided world we live in today?

UN-aligned does not advocate a super-state, but a federal world order that promotes self-determination even more so than it is in most nations today. The power that it envisages is not that different to the one that the United Nations would wield if it were taken seriously by all of its members. 

The problem of the United Nations is that more or less all nations became members, irrespective of whether they believed in its principles or not. We only need to look at the human rights situation around the world to see that the UN is like a club of lapsed members. UN-aligned federated states will be joined by the same vision regarding principles that are not negotiable. Namely, that humanity comes before nationality and the health of the planet before corporate greed.
