Modern conditions have made “the nation” an impossible political unit. Federation does not save it; and, besides, is totally impracticable. The “individual” remains; this has the merit of being philosophically justifiable, and, in practice, would require planet-wide control. To introduce it needs absolute ruthlessness and supreme wisdom: this makes it inconceivable as propaganda. But it can be the secret formula of the real rulers, who must be “few & secret.” See AL I.10 and elsewhere.
