NO, WE CAN’T ALL JUST ‘GET ALONG’ (GLOBALLY)
Nice thinking though.
(a) The rest of the planet is low trust, so it wants benevolent authoritarianism and certainty to compensate for low trust of one another – and they do NOT want our political ‘doing laundry in public’ adversarial democracy – at all. None of it.
(b) The remaining agrarian empires resist our suppression of their aggression (Russia, China, MENA/Iran). This prevents them from continuing their parasitism upon their people.
(c) The whole world wants us to stop exporting ‘liberalism’ which is reducible to a warfare on the primacy of the family by the advocacy of decadence and hedonism. (Most of us here don’t want it either.)
(d) They’ve already accepted consumer capitalism. The whole world has begun to understand incentives and the necessity of prices.
(e) But we sold them democracy that’s irrelevant instead of rule of law by the natural law that’s not.
(f) Democracy isn’t a good. It is only a temporary luxury that results from the successful implementation of rule of law by a large enough middle class to create a sustainable economy and middle-class rule.
