The real question is, who in their right minds would want the headaches involved in trying to control a world full of individuals? The Soviets found out that "Re-education" doesnt work, you just have to eliminate the dissidents. A truly socialist society suffers from the fact that there are always some group of elite, the people that run everything, thus, eventually, the masses start to protest. The fear of the police or military is less than the desire for change. The same is true for Theocratic societies, religious oppression breeds dissent against those in power, Iraq is a good example. In that country, people are protesting the control the religious elite have over the society, and that government is just a little over 30 years old. You cant keep a people under control for any great length of time when they know there is something better. The same would happen with a centralized world government, eventually, people would lose their fear of the controlling force and rise up against it, most likely in nationalist movements. People identify with the place of their birth, not some centralized power that dictates to people what they are to believe. The biggest problem with the idea of a NWO is the fact that there are groups of people that just will not co-exist with each other without fighting. A centralized government would be spending untold resources to stop ethnic and religious fighting all over the globe. Eventually the government would become financially unable to control the world and the experiment would fail, if ever attempted in the first place. The same would be true for some covert economic group trying to control the planet, the cultural conflicts would create economic chaos and eventually affect the world economy, with disastrous effects.
