The system we have right now doesn't work. You know that, I know that. This
World is imperfect, if only we could wipe away the impurities.

This kind of Utopia would only work under the direction of a kind and
benevolant World Dictator. A future of heavy automation and resource
allocation, designed to uplift the poorest of those in society is surely
preferable to the corrupt petty squabbling we have in this present day.

Yes, such as system could be used for evil... Bolshevism in Russia, Nazi
Germany, The Khmer Rogue in Cambodia, for instance... which is why we need an
unshakeable consititution, a constitution that would limit the authority of any
dictator in charge, and lock them into the framework of a good and humane
system of control.
