I apologize if this has been covered before and it probably has, but you advocate a global political change, but currently there is no mechanism for global voting. Does not seem to even be much means of cooperation between 2 countries, let alone the world. I'm in agreement with your positions almost totally, but don't see how one goes from national sovereignty of approximately 200 plus countries to one world.
Thank you for any links or explanations.
Have you ever mailed a letter from part of the world to another and wondered how from a pillar-box in the street, to the letter-box of a house in another continent, it gets there?Have you ever flown from one part of the world to another and wondered about all that air-space you pass through which requires air traffic control to permit a safe journey?Or how WHO and FAO can mobilise all these NGOs to combat epidemics and famines. UNESCO is another international aid and what about the countless charities around the world. Have you never ever requested a book from your library who then borrow it from another library to provide it to you? World co-operation already exists in many areas of our life and we are awash with international organisations and professional bodies and business/trade associations that co-ordinate and keep one another informed of facts and developments. As often explained when we establish socialism, it is not a blank page beginning but building upon what already exists in a myriad of forms. We take what exists and transform them, sometimes this will be very minimal change that is required, while in other cases it will need more fundamental adaptations. Every army in the world has an engineering corps equipped with all sorts of heavy construction equipment and with trained personnel, capable of laying bridges, building roads and runways, constructing barracks and bases, every army has a transport corps to support supplies and logistics – why should they be made redundant and not deployed for peaceful means.

Its not going to be over-night or a simultaneous epiphany. What will be part of the early process will be is the building of individual socialist parties in these 200 countries to capture political control of the 200 states and they will embark upon transforming itself into a world socialist movement (party.) People are becoming increasingly aware that national sovereignty in regards to global problems such as climate change is meaningless. They will charge their local and regional organisations that have grown into the expression of their wishes with the task to co-ordinate and co-operate with all others of like mind well in advance of the revolutionary moment of assuming political power. So the real beginning is not the question as you pose but the creation of the One Big Union, the One Socialist Party out of the 200 odd workers organisations in each country and from that to thier world-wide restructuring…industrial workers of the world and the world socialist party…a start has been already made but a long way from completion, sadly.
