Romulan/Klingon or Borg
No, because Asgardia turned out to be shit, and it's easy to do things online rather than in real meatspace, where much of the heavy lifting would have to be done. It would fall apart from people wanting higher positions, and then wanting to be paid for their time. Look, I want a moneyless, classless society, but in our current environment people need to get paid so they can eat. An online organization would not have the means to address those issues satisfactorily.
I think your right in many ways, because you couldn't setup a system which would be completely independant from all of the other systems we currently have in place, they'd need to have a way to create the products/food that are required by the individuals within the organisation. You'd also have to contend with everyones conception that more money =buy more things = better life etc, which I think you can change given time, but if you were to setup a Federation now what would be your steps/approach ?, what are all of the challenges you would face ?, if you could join and do as little or as much as you wanted to be involved would you join ? obviously it would be an add on to your current existance and may or may not develop into a proper society but that depends on volounteers etc until it could become a proper entity.
I hope you are right, but regarding to the Federation idea, I think if it was going to be acheived it would have to start very small ie online then move into as Amaris said 'Meatspace' so micronation working out all the issues and then scaling up so to speak, realise this is all theory as you'd have to have people buy into the concept and volounteer time to it to begin with before you could do anything.
A world federation, by its nature, cannot start small. A movement to promote such a thing can, but the thing itself, no.
Well, yeah, that's why I figured it wouldn't work in our current eco and social climate. It has been shown that, in history, any time a revolution comes and people are finally free of class distinctions, they are prone to failure from outside influence. Catalonia, for example, was an anarcho-communist state that had great potential, but it only managed a scant 3 years before other nations took them down. They were just too small, and too new to hold their ground against powerful forces that wanted the whole idea of a socialist nation crushed into oblivion. I think it would take a massive shift in our outlook. In Gene Roddenberry's idea of a utopian future, the earth had to endure a near literal hell, with billions of people dying AND the discovery of sentient life outside our solar system before humanity realized that it better shape itself up and learn how to deal, because they weren't alone.
