Compliments are nice, but a pint of ale is nicer.

Now imagine if instead of 'some states do it more some states do it less', those states were to merge in what could be termed a collective. If they did this via financial means first before political, then you would eventually arrive at a point where Earth becomes one giant social collective.
Exactly. Like those cyberpunk SF novels of 80s: large corporations are starting to run everything. Politicians are paid to lead people by the laws that suit people with lots of resources (money, goods, power, land....). Money itself is a great way to fraud people. Most of it explained in Zeitgeist.

It change anything, only by reading they might see it coming when it does, and following another major world event next spring I believe that time is fast approaching.
I'm quite pessimistic. 1984 at it's best. We all have mobile phones, facebook, CCTV everywhere. Most people owe some money to banks. So lots of means to control people, little unity among people. It will slowl get worse and worse. Until we all work like the Chinese, for a few dollars a day. And we'll be happy with our few dollars, better than those poor africans ,yeees. And we will envy those with whole 10 dolars a day! And fight among each other for crums of bread. Some, very few will have it all. That's the direction we're heading it seems.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
