Militarism is our biggest human failure. Since 1900 200 million people have died, more been injured, and perhaps two billion traumatised by arms and war. Over that time the cost to each family in the world is some $250,000. We have military dictators over half the world's population and weakened democracy. Militarism speeds up global warming and has produced a hundred million refugees and most world poverty. Despite all this, we do not question it, until now.
It should end, but the militarists keep us locked in on the build-up of weapons and world-wide permanent conflict. The Superpowers perpetuate, and sell, the dominance of arms. They control the UN. Yet weapons cause wars. This book opens up the errors of this world system; we see how it fails and yet keeps the show on the road. Now it must go.
Surprisingly, when you think it through, disarming the world is safe and far easier than the present military build-up. It can happen in six years without danger. It merely requires bypassing the great military establishments through world popular democracy, a move nearly successful in 1932 when it was far more difficult. This book outlines a fairly obvious disarmament process and how the military system can be replaced. It shows that peace has always been more practical than war and exposes the false arguments of militarism.
Even now when militarism seems so strong, it is weak. Wars do not work and weapons only destroy. But a big problem needs a big solution. We see what that involves and the fight necessary to war on war. We can make world peace. It will not happen by magic, but really it is the most popular policy on the planet and will not be difficult. This book works through disarmament under international law, a pattern practised within states other than the US. Here you think through the end of militarism, how to end the world's toxic pattern of war, and see the route to healing of the nations. That has to be good news.
