The “progressive” notion of government includes the notion of governance for the “greater good”. In order to achieve the greater good, the individual must be governed by the community.
When, inevitably, community governance fails to achieve equality (or even happiness) for all, blame must be diverted by asserting that the fault lies with the scope of government, not the concept, and the only solution is governance by a larger body.
The cycle repeats from town to county to state to nation. And thus we arrive at the rationale for globalism. Only through global government can we assure complete equality and happiness for all citizens of the world.
Does it never occur to the beneficiaries of this strange largesse that there is no logic to a philosophy that has as its sole strategy to always double down on failure?
We had just better hope that the search for extraterrestrial life never bears fruit.
