Obviously a [[philosophy]] with the goal of creating a [[universalist|universal]] [[in-group]] is fundamentally against war. Is it possible to end all major wars between nations by creating a common cause? Will it require a common federalist-style government to solve disputes between nations? What change in human consciousness will be required to allow the majority of people to accept such an idea? Currently any mention of a "new world order" elicits a [[contrarian]] and [[conspiratorial]] backlash. But without one, how will we ever solve the problem of war? Just asking questions.
