Liberal World Government would eliminate authentic politics among peoples

Evidence

Additional tasks? What are they, if not the tasks of ruling the world? Increased responsibility? What is it, if not responsibility for the world? And Caillois-Atlas charitably plants his feet firmly in the dust and once again raises to his sturdy shoulders the inevitable white man’s burden. — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 240 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

The post-Enlightenment, liberal, rational, humanist universalism of Western culture looks not less historically significant but less universal by the minute. Many great ideas—liberty, equality, autonomy, democracy—have been honed within the liberal tradition. However, it is now clear that liberalism is not the “culture that is beyond cultures” but the culture that won: that particularism which successfully universalized and hegemonized itself across the globe. Its triumph in virtually setting the limits to the domain of “the political” was not, in retrospect, the result of a disinterested mass conversion to the Rule of Universal Reason but something closer to a more earthy, Foucauldian, power-knowledge sort of “game.” — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 357 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
