It did NOT work with booze... look up American Prohibition, or Boot Leggers, or Moon Shiners. It just created a brand new underground industry.

Yeah... you can't technically outlaw communism. Complete removal of communism would result in the removal of the lottery, social security, welfare, free/reduced lunch program, medicare/medicaid, and the child healthcare programs. Thanks a lot, poor sick children are going to die. Poor children will starve. Old people will become poor. I rely on the free/reduced and the medicare.
There IS a difference between Socialist programs (not to happy about in the first place) and Communist ones.

Since you are the leader of the world, I'm assuming there is only one government. If there is only one government (breaking off and forming a communistic state would already be illegal), enforcing this would mean purging your government which is quite evil and Stalinist effectively making yourself a hypocrite. Of course, if you mean to restore the paranoid Cold War period in which we feared the Soviet Union and thought them to be superior to ourselves, then you are a dictatorial leader again by suppressing freedom of expression.

You make to many assumptions. It would be a form of a military goverment and Confederacy. All nations would still control themselves, but if called upon to take out enemies, they will do so immediatly. As for purging, no. I'd stop the Communist leaders before it would get out hand, and either exile them, or put them in prison. Also, the Free Market economy, aka, Capitalism, would be in full swing.

well that idea MIGHT work, if you split it up more. let's compare it to U.S. government for example. Each city (represetnig a country) has it's own sudo government. Each state (representing regions Ex. middle East) has power over all it's cities. Then the world government (your Hegemony) would have power over each region, which inturn has power over each city.

However, I think you'd agree that the only person who will ever successfuly take power over the world will be the Anti-christ, who will do so by Carisma. I don't think you'd want to take THAT role in history... :(

AKA the UN. No one's going to fucking listen to you. The confederacy system sucks balls since it's so weak and decentralized. A more centralized government would be able to keep itself from falling apart. Let's say China and America are pissed off at each other. You seem to resolve in favor of America since Americans are LESS communist.

China breaks off and the nations around her follow suit. Military strike forces are sent in, but China is able to hold her own. China threatens to use nuclear weapons. The whole system falls apart piece by piece. If it were more centralized, we could have global elections and select a world leader. Nuclear weapons would be seized and destroyed underground. Any dissenting nation will be crushed with extreme prejudice.

Conclusion- Decentralization sucks balls.

Q-What if the Articles of Confederation were passed instead of the Constitution?

A-We'd be sucking British balls right now.

what a Hypocracy!!!(not a real word) You are a hypocrite, because human emissions (cars, factories ect.) acount for .08% of green house gases, where as live stock accounts for 26%. There for any non-vegan environmentalist- green house gas B.S. thrower is a hypocrite. (the other 73.02% of green house gases are from wild animals and things like volcanic eruptions.)

First off, the Articles WERE passed. Also, what I am talking about is more similar to what the US was founded on. The countries (in relation to the states) take care of themselves for the most part. The central government, would take care to see that no nation would decide it would "secede" like in the American Civil War. If they do plan on it, the leaders would be made in to examples to what happens if you think you can secede. The difference? It would be almost entirely Capitalist, but the local governments would uphold laws where they are.

Okay. I don't care any more. I say we should burn stem cells for fuel. We should smoke as many cigarettes as possible. We should build a refinery in every American town as well as oil wells. I don't care anymore. It's not my problem. Let our fucking kids handle it. I say we rape the land and fire nukes into the earth to disarm. We gotta get it outta our system and it's going to be fun. We should raise more livestock too.

You spoke of a Confederacy. They were passed, but replaced because they suck. The same reason the Confederacy never worked, because the people were more loyal to the states. The difference? There are nuclear weapons. Oh, let's make an example of China. Oh crap. They fired a dozen nuclear weapons. We fire back. End of the world. No one wants a new world order and if you forced it on them like that it would end up just like the League of Nation or with a thermonuclear war (which I'm fascinated and would be happy to witness).
