Government of the world by the party and for the party

To Elson:
You said:
"I don't recall anyone arguing that there should be a world government of
the party and for the party.  I think "dictatorship of the proletariat" is
a failed idea with few supporters today."

The fact that this idea is not openly promoted, does not make it disappear.
There is talk of DEMOCRATIC MARXISM, but its adherents never explain, how
it might work.

Judging from past experience one can only conclude that the chances for
success of such a system are very slim indeed, since:
The core ideas of Marxism, such as that all means of production must belong
to the State, can only be realized by an enormous concentration of power
over people's lives in the hands of government. 

Obviously wielding such power wisely and effectively needs qualities
exceedingly rare among humans. Finding individuals  with such rare
qualities is in itself already very difficult, but only under the most
fortunate circumstances could one hope, that they could combine with what
is required to win violent revolutions or to rise to the highest levels of
party cadres through adept maneuvering .

Cuba's Fidel Castro and the leaders of post Maoist China might possibly
qualify, but should a New World system depend on such a rare coincidence?
Remember the saying, that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts
absolutely.

Maybe you can enlighten us on how to overcome these difficulties.
