A world government isn't libertarian in nature.

I was just testing how to create a poll. It wasn't supposed to post! Sorry!

Mods, please remove this thread.

Yes. I believe in national sovereignty. I think a world government is incompatible with American liberty.

I don't know... it's impossible to create libretarian world government that would be strong enough to resist temptation of corruption. I mean it is possible on paper. But some things that are required are impossible to acheive. Like cooperation of all nations of the world. Devisement of a system that would prevent world government expanding it's powers. We having trouble with this in America, imagine that but 10 times bigger?

I'd rather vote for #3 (a better test question for this sample "poll").

If by "New World Order" you mean "Global Government," sure... essentially, a libertarian global government wouldn't actually do anything, and would dissolve itself almost as immediately as it was created because it wouldn't have any funding. That's silly, though... libertarianism is incompatible with monolithic non-representative government.

Its at least imaginable that you could have some world government body dictating to all of its member nations a strict respect for the fundamental human liberties and constraints on the use of government force in accordance with libertarian values. Imagine the United States possessing a libertarian federal government, and then just imagine it covering a larger geographic area... e.g., every country in the entire world becomes a federated state. In essence, the role of such a government would be to intervene militarily against every petty dictator or power monger that crops up in every dark corner of the world in order to protect the inalienable rights of world citizens (sound familiar?), but the logistics of such an operation, not to mention philosophic consistency, are nigh impossible without a sufficiently massive volunteer base contributing funds and pledging military service and agreeing on the basic principles. In other words, a vast super-majority of the world's population would have to be libertarians, thereby making the notion of a "libertarian world government" completely unnecessary, as populations around the world would deal with their issues in a libertarian manner already.

So, yeah, I'd be in favor of that :)

The primary libertarian axiom is the "Non Aggression Principle".
