The fantasy of world unification

The fantasy of world unification has led to many attempts to create centralizing states and religions. The latest came from the imaginative Teilhard De Chardin who saw all of history moving from diversification to unification in religion.

But there are healthy limits to unification based in human nature, as sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, and conservative historians have pointed out.

A better hope is to be unified in affirming differences, which is more natural, encourages evolution, and helps avoid the aggressive imperialists and fascists and dictator's who promote unification and a centralized state, which have been shown to be a quixotic dream, causing much hardship and bloodshed.

I would rather speak of islands of evolution with light federalism which gives evolutionary freedom to small states. Even economic nationalism seems like a workable compromise between marauding global business, communism, fascism, and total anarchy.
