That's why I said stateless, not government-less. There'd obviously be a form of government, just done differently than it is now, in a horizontal configuration, rather than top-down. And what do you mean by share their goods? Personal property would still exist. And if the vast majority of governments strove to build peace, why is there so much war-mongering?

How many countries of the 200 are war mongering? A small handful. And how many of those countries are reprimanded for it? Every single one. Nobody wants war except for a few countries with terrible leaders.

How can a government be horizontal? You mean like it is now where basically all governments of all countries are on the same level without anyone above it? You will always have leaders of municipalities. Why would you think war would stop? Especially when it is your desire to pump every country full of military grade weaponry?

As long as there are humans and especially as long as there are weapons made for attacking and killing people, there will be war, suffering and violence. Humans are by nature chaotic and selfish. It baffles my mind that you have more trust in random people who only look out for themselves than people who actually swore to protect other people.

Almost every single countyr has a military, and get worked up in military alliances around the world. And the more powerful countries don't get reprimanded for it, especially those with veto power in the UNSC. No, I mean horizontal in a direct democracy fashion, as I said before I promote a stateless world, so there wouldn't be such thing as countries. Essentially, the decisions are made by those who are most affected by it. Ideally a revolution would be done peacefully, but considering all of the tanks, nukes, drones, machine guns, fighter jets, etc. they have, something tells me they wouldn't want to go the peaceful route.
