    If you could recreate the world in your image what would it be.
    If i re-imaged the world, it'd be a world with less hate, and more love for other people.
    Wars would be non-existent, famine wouldn't be there, their would still be crime, but not as many deaths or shootings. A place where people are treated equally

    The world would be stateless and moneyless, without poverty, oppression or suffering*, divided into communes etc (I don't want to go too far into communist theory right now). Everyone would be equal. In other words, anarcho-communism.

    Also, we'd stop unsustainably exploiting the planet. There would be free speech, expression, and general freedom.

    *No suffering within reason. I can't take away people's freedom. But no suffering caused by oppression of a lack of resources or selfish wars etc.

    There would be no genders nor sexes. Wars wouldn't happen. Crimes wouldn't exist. People wouldn't get offended at everything. And evreyone's friends. And money isn't needed.

    1. Ideally, no actual government. A constitution of basic laws however (no killing, beating, forcing religion, no stealing), would be in effect.
    2. There would be an unbiased police force as well as judiciary system, and prisons would only be for those clinically proven to be a threat to civilization.
    3. Most arrested criminals (drug dealers, alcoholics, murderers who aren't clinically sociopathic or psychopathic, robbers, people who can't afford anything in society) would go to a local rehab center with highly trained specialists.
    4. Taxes would pay for health and doctors/specialists.
    5. Of course, there would be hospitals and fire departments. Those are kinda important.
    6. The monetary system would be more like a system of points rather than tangible currency. Basically, if you've been convicted of a crime, then you will be getting a significantly lower number of points. If you have a job, it will give you said points instead of money. Likewise, if people report bad behavior that isn't based on religion (eg. a radical Christian conservative complaining about a "faggot" so it has to be within the confines of the law), you can also get docked points. You can also get points by helping clean up the streets, helping someone out, etc. Anything that might not be much but still helps out humanity can be rewarded with points. Helping the ecosystem also is point-rewardable.

    I don't feel confident enough in my understanding of the world to reform it how I please, but I would imagine something similar to the early US. That was when our government was imagined to be MUCH smaller and decreased in scope, and citizens could more intimately participate in the system without the interest groups wooing leaders with gazillions of dollars in corrupt lobbying. Any kind of moral shittiness would not be tolerated in the slightest, with any reprehensible "scandal" material being punished with instant loss of office and continuing benefits.

    Furthermore, emphasis would be placed on public service rather than power. The pay and perks would be nice to entice people to take on the responsibility, but the military would be decentralized except in times of war, defined as when we are facing a direct, continuous land invasion of our country.

    Idk, it just seems like we got it right a long time ago, and have since evolved into a frankly embarrassing and disgusting monster. I'd like to back to before we were a world superpower and were just a land of idealists looking to breathe free.

    I... have...no...idea. I've never thought about it before and when I do, it all seems really dangerous or boring.

    I know it may sound crazy, but if I imagine a world without adversity, how can I appreciate a world of prosperity?

    Perhaps my ideal world is one that's constantly making progress. Ugh! I don't know. There are so many unfinished thoughts bouncing around in my head.

    Everyone would be a plant. Half of the plants would make carbon while the other half would make oxygen.

    That way, no more wars, no bullying, no emotions, just peace and quiet.

    I would leave people out. The world is better off without them.

    A far smaller population, religious/ethnic/gender and sexuality tolerance, lack of poverty, focus on arts and education/knowledge, war would be confined to the history books, and everybody would be happy in their professions, and there would be no plutocracy. It would also be far less industrialised, and commerce would be at a smaller level. Sovereign states would be extremely small (cities and provinces), and all would be democratic.

    Now that I've finished dreaming, I'll return to the real world...

    I would make the world flat, and infinate like Minecraft :slight_smile: It would solve so many problems like world hunger (unlimited space for farming and ranching) and it would solve over population in cities.

    Literally perfect.
    ---
    My world would be a world entirely composed of absolute monarchies and federal kingdoms constantly having royal marriages and forming new countries, as well as warring with other countries. Spy agencies and espionage would be rampant. Industrial and Scientific revolutions would take place every few centuries, as well as socio-economic and governmental revolutions as well.

    Equal rights would slowly improve over time, like our world, and when we finally reach space, everyone is equal. By that time we would have monarchy-colonies on Mars, Titan, Enceladus, and Europa. After we master faster-than light travel we would build a giant, confederate, galactic empire covering most of the galaxy.

    After 1,500 years the empire would collapse and it would descend into chaos and civil war. Disease, famine, and crime would be particularly bad in the south of the galaxy, while within a few decades order and peace would be restored into the rest of the galaxy.

    After billions of years of expanding our empire, the universe would naturally collapse and end all life :slight_smile:

    Heaven. Constant happiness. No pain.

    Obviously the world would need a huge make-over for that to be possible since constant happiness = recklessness in today's world.

    A massive eternal gangbang of hedonism

    Seriously, it's difficult. I mean, you can try as you might to make everything equal, but to me that seems like spinning thousands and thousands of different plates at the same time. So I guess we can't control that one. HAVING SAID THAT, corporations would have absolutely no power in politics. Different cultures would exist, but they would be coexistent with each other and they would all have the same human rights in common. We would give the same thought to Uganda as we do to France. People would not be just pawns on a political chessboard. There would be government, not too authoritarian, but not so small as that people have the power to rise against it and/or oppress others unjustly. Money wouldn't exist, but I'm not sure how it would be replaced because anything can be traded. Universal healthcare would be enforced, and insurance companies (if they existed at all without money) wouldn't hold people to ransom by refusing to help when it's against their interests. Finally, we'd make sure that every single person had an equal opportunity to make what they want with their life, and not allow socioeconomic factors to limit future prospects.

    Eh. Some of that's indeed possible and I hope improves...others may be a bit of an issue. :L
