Why Now
Summary (explained in math):
Sociocracy = sociology + democracy (not socialism, communism, marxism, etc.)
Peace = not war
Truth = not false
Law = justice + mercy
US = the best of humanity
The world is changing rapidly, and so are the challenges we face as a global community. Climate change, pandemics, poverty, inequality, and conflicts are threatening our future and our planet. We need a new vision, a new way of working together, a new nation that transcends borders and boundaries.
That is why we propose to form the US Tomorrow, a federation of sovereign states that share a common commitment to democracy, human rights, peace, and sustainability. The USN is not a superstate or a world government, but a voluntary association of equal partners that cooperate on issues of mutual interest and benefit.
The idea of the USN is inspired by the history and values of the United Nations (UN), the international organization that was founded in 1945 after the horrors of World War II. The UN has achieved many successes in promoting peace, security, cooperation, and development, but it also faces many limitations and challenges in the 21st century. The UN is often hampered by bureaucracy, veto power, lack of representation, and insufficient funding. The USN would complement and strengthen the UN by providing a more flexible and effective platform for collective action.
The USN would be open to any state that meets the criteria of democracy, human rights, peace, and sustainability. The USN would respect the diversity and sovereignty of its members, but also foster a sense of solidarity and responsibility among them. The USN would have a simple and transparent structure, with a rotating presidency, a council of representatives, and a secretariat. The USN would also have a common currency, a common passport, and a common defense system.
The USN would aim to address the most pressing issues facing humanity today, such as climate change, pandemics, poverty, inequality, and conflicts. The USN would pool resources and expertise to tackle these challenges in a coordinated and effective way. The USN would also promote dialogue and cooperation with other regional and global actors, such as the European Union (EU), the African Union (AU), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the UN itself.
The USN is not a utopian dream or a fantasy. It is a realistic and feasible proposal that can be achieved if we have the courage and the will to make it happen. The USN is not an end in itself, but a means to an end: a better and more sustainable future for us all.
