Sharing is a choice. If you force everyone to let go of their possessions and and nations, by definition it’s not sharing. It’s tyranny. Also, to be clear, the government is the worst possible entity to try to enforce good will. They aren’t omniscient and can’t know what is best for every individual.
War exists because sin exists. Human beings go to war because we inherently love what God says is wrong and we are willing to die to see our passions satisfied. The only escape from death is Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and offers new life to those who put their trust in Him. Then He will give us new desires, love for Him and for everyone God created even our enemies. We won’t need someone to force us to share what we have, an oxymoron because sharing is a choice therefore being forced to share is just stealing. Instead, we will desire to give out of what God has given us.

Greed is universal, and some are more greedy than others.

Sharing is also universal. Think about the sharing that goes on in most families. Our hope is to expand that good hearted-ness.

Verne in order for that to work everyone must put some skin in the game. To many just take without giving back ;-)

It’s easy to eliminate war. Just eliminate people.

The long held dream of humanity – no nations, no borders, and one person in charge of everything. Sounds a bit scary!!
