Empire caused the World Wars, not nation-states! The recent commemoration of the end of World War I would have been a perfect opportunity to discuss that, and to make real pledges that this should never, ever happen again to humanity. Instead, France’s President Macron spoke on behalf of building up a European Empire, against Russia, China, and the United States! This is why the most urgent question is to overcome geopolitical thinking, and to move very rapidly to a new paradigm, focused on the common aims of mankind.
