Andrew,

You left out the adjective "socialist." A socialist world
government, which would also be democratic (or it couldn't be socialist),
is a government that can be replaced or reformed democratically. If there
is oppression, the means are at hand to fight back--through opposition
parties, through the courts, through ombudspersons (= tribunes), through
the media, whatever it takes.

Regards,

Warren
