competition...better?

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Do you think that more competition of government in the world is always better? Or does it mean more war? I think the competition is better, but I think there's always greater chances of conflict. What do you think? I think it's better though.

competition in governments? I'm not talking about anarcho-capitalism here I'm asking if MORE governments in the world is a good thing? Does it mean that the governments will be smaller and more representative of their constituencies? Or does it mean more conflict and war?

I think more governments will lead to more war. Many conflicts on interests will happen and each government will try to expand and dominate each other.

I think competitive government is a great idea, so long as citizenship is voluntary and governments can't commit aggression on other governments or their (the citizens of other gov'ts) citizens.

I think this could evolve nicely into a tiered system, with local gov'ts, state gov'ts and maybe they could all voluntarily convene at a national... convention.

However, without a compulsory gov't, I still consider this anarchism.

I also doubt it's effectiveness on a large scale. I think it'd have to prove itself effective on - oh... say.... - an island first, as an experiment - before it can be considered seriously.

What do you mean by "more"?
There are only a two.

Individualism v Collectivism

Most of the sub-definitions fall under Collectivism.

Or do you mean different countries? There is a plan to create a One World Government, but that is a Collectivist agenda.
