The next stage of the “neoliberal world order” is the neo-federal world order, now what is that? Neo-federalism, also known as world federalism, is a more academic form of the old philosophy which traditionally focused on the development of a world federal government. By switching the word “world” for “neo and a dash” it makes the proposal more interesting to the millennial and post-millennial generations.

While older world federalists seem to run away from the use of a “ism”, the new generations aren’t willing to wash language in the need to soften the image of our true end-goals. This is because the older generations are still reacting to the old paradigm which affected leftists and government sceptics following the end of the second world war. The need for government establishment types to flush out these “undesirable groups” from society would spread throughout the US media and institutions leading to a post-war culture which rejected the brainwashing of the masses in an effort to defeat the communists.

Younger generations have come to be disgusted with the washing of language to comfort the government’s goals to lead us to either to glorify capitalism or look down on people who look different than us. This is all in a goal to “further US interest”. The new generation of millennials and post-millennials like Neo from the film “The Matrix”, we can see through the old forms of propaganda. And it is because our new abilities to see beyond the old forms of propaganda that a new form of propaganda has been created; neo-propaganda.

Neo-propaganda doesn’t hide behind creative words and mental tricks. Which in the past they said, this is not propaganda, and today we say, yes, this is propaganda. Which they lied to cover the truth, we say the truth and deem what also shouldn’t be said but dealt with. This new form of propaganda is all around us. We realize that arguments will never be proven and if there is no winner of the argument then why have it. We choose to create proxy debates which the derivative of the derivative of the actual argument.

We have come to understand the battle which is happening over thought and language in the debate over the new dominating philosophy. We do not fear the truth, or to fail. We would rather try something new than continue living in a world of stagnation. While the establishment continues to believe chaos will ensue or, in the least, the people will make the wrong decisions, if provided with the truth. The problem is that such a thought is irrelevant from the view of a neo-federalists, because we firmly believe that individual freedom is more important than national power—now how many in the establishment will say that out loud.

What is World Federalism?

World Federal Government (WFG)

After doing away with the irrelevant fears of the establishment, we then arrive to the question; if there is a majority of people that believe in individual sovereignty over national sovereignty than why haven’t we been able to development a world governing system? Actually, that question is easy to answer. The whole time we have been fighting for individual sovereignty against organized power, if it be by a monarchy, theocracy, plutocracy, or autocracy. All movements fighting against the “system” have been fighting the same fight but in different forms. A fight for the freedom of the individual to make choices independent from a state, government, or established institution—individual sovereignty.

Neo-federalists believe we have the ability to educate the masses without the need for centralized structures which look to control thought. We believe that our central government will do something much greater than any other governments from the past. Our central government will gain resources in a collective fashion to simply then give those resources to the people, on a global and galactic level. It is our firm belief that humans, every human born and to be born, have inherent value. This human value cannot be wasted, and this is in the benefit of the individual and our human mission.

Let’s go deeper to understand how it is neo-federalism has developed, in the current new worldwide generation. First, there is globalization, which has been an dominate force in the lives of many of the youth in the world today. The positives that we can take from globalization has created the foundation of our neo-federalist philosophy but its negatives have led to the alt-right.

The idea of multiculturalism and the free movement of peoples are seen as the benefits of globalization from a neo-federalist perspective, but on the other hand cultural change and immigration are the issues that drive the alt-right.

All of this has led the neo-federalists to reject the idea of a national identity for cultural and ideological identities. But our identities are less focused on race and nationalism instead they focus on the communities we create online. Now you may ask, what is different between the liberal ideas of world power over a neo-federalist’s one. We, the neo-federalists, simple reject the idea we must stand-by and allow the power of a few to use national sovereignty to deny individual sovereignty—which would start with be Universal Human Rights.

We, neo-federalists, tried to develop a movement through organic and horizontal means but over the years through practice we have learned that we will have to build our own institutions, or co-opt existing ones. Our overarching goal is to create a system which establishes order and justice over forced rule. Order which balances the power between individuals and organizations. Justice which reviews each case before it and makes judgements without the influence of power.

As time passes, we will see the growth of the idea of an individual that is not constrained by the national-state; and, to go further the world federal government will not seek to constrain them but to free them: providing them with choice. Creating a world where the individual doesn’t only pledge their allegiance to the government but the government must also pledge allegiance to them. Our hope is that this will create governments that are committed to the peoples that live on their lands, but, moreover, by giving some power to a greater institution that can solve problems beyond the state. Where we provide the individuals with the tools, resources, and protection to meet their personal goals and the goals of the human mission.
