The worn out world order

Context

Humanity is an ever-changing organism. Modern society is railed by rules, standards, and laws. In recent history, several attempts have been made to unify humanity and have common laws. Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 for example. And the League of Nations. And finally the United Nations.

Parallel to the good intentions, group powers and armament developed. And this painted an evolving picture for the reality of all good intentions embedded in the UN and such. Causing these intentions becoming obsolete time and time again. And thus also the UN. Russia goes its own way. Islamic extremists like Iran go their own way. All undermining the so-called global rule based society. 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered a whole new power and armament reality. As happened in the past, all kind of new technology pops up that did not exist when the last time armament was tested in real battle. And again, painting a complete new power picture. Russia and China appear not to be the powers they were from the perspective of the existed armament conventions.

What we should have learned and did not learn is that rules or laws without law enforcement are useless.

Another thing what is overlooked all the time when painting a new international order is that we (humans being land animals) always focus on who owns what land. While the fact of life is that the waters (oceans) connect us. And at the same time, the oceans are natural borders. The best uniting power forewords are a focus of humanity on the international role of the oceans, not on nation on solid grounds. Ground is secondary to the need for human cooperation. We as a species can not live any longer with sea terror like what the Houthi's are doing in the Red Sea.

NATO is North Atlantic. Oceans need to be safe for trade to serve humanity best. Policing the oceans is a task that is beyond land borders. We as humanity have to take a step to get the land wartimes behind us and need to cooperate on the next level.

What humanity requires right now!

An investment into a better future for humanity.

As soon as possible!

An ocean based bottom up international order. From the sea bordering nations and cities of. With three main ocean bodies and one international Ocean based replacement of the UN.

The three main ocean bodies

Atlantic Rules and Enforcement

ARE should replace the NATO. All nations around the Atlantic should create a law and enforce cooperation to guard free trade on the Atlantic.

Indian Ocean Rules and Enforcement

IORE should bind all nations around the Indian Ocean to create a law and enforce cooperation to guard free trade on the Indian Ocean.

Pacific Rules and Enforcement

PRE should bind all nations around the Pacific to create a law and enforce cooperation to guard free trade on the Pacific
. 

United Oceans

The UN should be replaced by the United Oceans. The UO is a body where ARE, IORE and PRE maintain the international sea-trade rule-book or law.

Left versus right as political classification is obsolete

The obsolete model What Wikipedia says about it. On this type of political spectrum , left-wing politics and right-wing politics are often presented as opposed, although a particular individual or group may take a left-wing stance on one matter and a right-wing stance on another; and some stances may overlap and be considered either left-wing or right-wing depending on the ideology. In France, where the terms originated, the left has been called "the party of movement" or liberal , and the right "the party of order" or conservative . The three class view If we look to the history of politics, we can clearly recognize another aspect of dominant division that is actual more critical to type political movements, namely nation central dominance (controlled) versus "Laissez Faire" ( let it be) . Communists and (National) Socialists are clear historic examples of controlled politics. And nowadays, all technocrat politics have a tendency to soft or hard cro

Why "tax" is becoming an old-fashioned word

The globalization of the past decades will have language consequences in the future. One of them will be the disappearance of the word tax. Its replacement (the modern equivalent) will be public service cost. I explain why: About the randomness of tax Where and what to pay tax for? People in a city environment (modern global society) need good public services and people are willing to pay for it. We (the free world people) require roads; public transport; an education network; a value exchange system (money); electronic communications (internet); air transport hubs (airports) and so on. All necessary for modern life. And all only possible if we work somehow together to maintain them. Three main categories of public services. If you analyze what main types of public services there are, they can be classified into three groups: security-services; network-services and care-services. Security services Security services are needed to prevent threats to have impact. And fight the impact of a

The battle of the oceans

We often talk about 'the west' but there is more to it, I think. And this (more) has major implications on geopolitics. We should talk about the (autocratic) land people culture versus the (free) sea people culture. Is it the war for Ukraine and the potential war for Taiwan, or is there a deeper war going on? I think the latter. Let me explain. I see the world moving forward from a (land) nations dominated organization into a free space network organization. I can see a history of wars between freedom and serfdom. The most brutal ones have been the wars of the west and Japan against China. Think about the brutal Opium wars and the Second Sino Japanese War . And the permanent battle with sea powers surrounding it from the Russian Empire in all its forms of appearance (Communistic or not) till today. We live in a time when these wars culminate into global conflicts and new wars. Probably and hopefully the final wars. Beijing, Moscow, Vienna, and Paris have one thing in common, t
