We can all see the risk of an imminent chaos, with the rise of totalitarianism and democracies loosing what has been their unifying American compass.
“Earth our Country” offers a revolutionary vision for the sustainable civilization of our future.
What used to be the outer World is becoming our Country.
We are the children of the first wave of globalization. We love the place where we grew up as much as the one where we now live.
We are starting to call Earth Our Country…
Borders are vanishing. The Planet is now turning into our finite geographic, economic and cultural setting. The economy, the Internet, viruses and lifestyles are already global.
Yet, our fragmented political models are lagging far behind. Our historic legacy of fully sovereign countries prevents us from reaching global coherence. The competition among nations and the lack of a grand plan for Humanity makes our civilization non-sustainable. Man-made global warming is derailing our global village.
We need cohesive global governance, and ultimately unification. The current design of our global institutions does not match the scale of the challenges that we are now facing as a species.
To build a sustainable society, we miss a political system that pools and leverages our shared resources and builds a vision for Mankind.
We must execute global solutions to resolve global problems.
The anarchy of our independent countries ruling everything on Earth leaves us all without a pilot.
Our generation is living through another revolution. When hunter-gatherers discovered agriculture, they made the Neolithic revolution, and became the Homo sapiens Sapiens, giving birth to 10,000 years of nation-centric History. The discovery of the magic seed culminated with our undisputed conquest and domination of the Planet.
Now, we are the first generation to discover the impact of our victory on the ecosystem. We have re-invented human normality into a second-life, parallel to Nature – Nature’s death knell. The only solution that we have to respond to the challenge of becoming the care-takers of Earth is: nations.
At the same time, we start to realize that we are all the same people after all… as we travel, migrate, communicate and work together across the globe.
We are the first Homo sapiens Universalis. We are making the second revolution of Mankind: the global revolution.
The barrier we now all face is political. We remain totally fragmented and disjointed.
While global at least economically and through the Internet, all laws remain local, borders still rule everything.
Our nations are taking us backwards. They cannot unify our policies and resources to find the resolution to our ecologic Great Wall.
The US has led the free-world and economic globalization, in particular since 1991, with the end of the USSR and when China endorsed capitalism.
but now, with another reign of the isolationist policy of Donald Trump ahead of us, our fragile world order is hitting a wall. The world has lost its pacemaker.
Nationalism is back.
We must dare together and catch our historic chance to make Earth great again. We should act for an united world – and give birth to a global brotherhood.
We want to share with you the vision a global democratic federation. Our manifesto is making the case for unity, and then paints the program of the first global government. It demonstrates what a huge difference the United Democratic States could make to sustain our common future.
The first version of the manifesto was written in 2010 and never published, most editors found the idea too “utopian”.
A second version was published in 2014 – exactly 10 years ago – at Dorrance Publishing Co. and paperback copies are still available online.
In order to expand global reach, we updated the manifesto in 2020 as a free digital copy for this website – that anyone can download for free – anywhere.
It was released at the occasion of the former US Presidential Election, Biden vs. Trump.
In this version, we imagined that Barack Obama would become the advocate of the global institutional changes that we need… but let’s not give you the story before you read it.
Please join the 100,000 citizens of the world who have discovered the manifesto, We are absolutely convinced that you won’t regret your curiosity. It is a deep, powerful and pivotal read.
You may disagree with many facets of the factual and detailed analysis and with any of the bold recommendations that follow.
But with an open mind, you will certainly learn as much as we did in constructing this thesis altogether. Never has the case and urgency for full globalization been more mind-blowing.
A lot has happened since 2020, with the pressure on the Planet and the free world increasing – higher temperature, invasion of Ukraine, turnmoil in Palestine, assertiveness of China…
But the impasse on climate mitigation and further radicalization of nationalisms only reinforces our vision. We need the give birth to one Country on Earth to make Earth great again for each and everyone of us.
