Not to say I'm all in for communism... but communism failed for the same
reason capitalism is failing. Corruption!
Here might be a way to deal with this political issue, while keeping on
topic with the "world peace PHP project":
I've had this idea for years, but why not start a "technocracy" or "ultra
social-democracy" that runs on a decentralized server, kind of like P2P
(Kad, Bitcoins, etc.) -- only problem being the logic running the system
(say, PHP scripts) would need to be programmed as a whole (so anyone could
re-program the structure of such a social system, so it functioned the way
everyone wanted). Think Wikipedia, but completely decentralized -- nobody
could "corrupt" the system unless they were a majority. This seems to be the
direction we're heading in -- what with hidden corruption, and most
governments being slow processing laws, reforms, etc.
May seem like a far-fetched idea, but I see it being one of the final things
to come in a rapidly evolving technological society, replacing most
republics with a social system more run by the people. Nobody would ever
again complain about stuff not getting done, when mobs of people could
actually change the system the way they wanted -- and quicker.
Socialism/communism/Marxism in the past has never worked, because a
minority-elite would eventually take over and convert it into a totalitarian
state with only the mere façade of socialism we see in countries today (not
exactly the idea Karl Marx had in mind).
