The problem with federalism is that it perpetuates our system of competing nation states with their diverse law and economies. This competitive environment:
is what keeps us funnelling resources into defense and offense, which could be better deployed elsewhere
results in wars, borders, trade barriers and all the resources used to maintain them
prevents us tackling global issues like global inequality, famine, pandemics, and the effects of climate change.
A one world government system with global law and a single economy, as proposed by the likes of globalhumanparty.org, offers a systemic evolution that could resolve all these organisational issues (at least on paper!), but it would require long term (multi-generational) transitional support for which the EA movement seems unsuited.
