The nucleus of a world state that is capable of safeguarding all of humanity from harm, while bringing order to the present chaos of a globalized world, can only be found in the idea of pan-human “nationalism” – a sense of universal shared solidarity centered on a common sense of humanity and a realization that we are all members of the human race and thus have a stake in its defense. Thus we all possess a stake in the common future of our species and the planet that sustains us.
This human patriotism will be a difficult concept for many people who cannot mentally move beyond the frontiers that they were born within and thus know not how to see humanity as the organic whole that it is on a universal scale.
However, I am now utterly convinced that freedoms and rights will not save us from ruin; only solidarity and community under the one banner of humanity. The threats we now face and universal and demand a universal solidarity that the present worldview cannot give us. We must unite and identify ourselves with what we are fundamentally and that is human.
