A police state wouldn't be so bad. Given the advanced nature of human rights issues in Australia the work required to maintain such power would be beneficial to the vast majority. The minorities will find joy in bonding against “The State”; it is what we like to call a “gain-gain situation”.
Social control is not bad or difficult if you are at the top or in the middle. Marmite’s success is proof of social control. Such a vile substance could never win legitimate support and a police state will undermine its pinkie hold.
With the police state you can force people to accept freedom and equality. We could have forced any religious school on Camden residents; their opposition squashed with prison sentences and death…I mean…clearly they aren’t the type we want in our police state anyway.
It is foolproof….In the future if, *chuckle*, the minority becomes the majority they’ll take power in a series of revolts and establish a new order. Just as nature intended.

World-wide is too grand for such an openly repressive movement until the age of robotic warfare at least. Then we could this plan out for a spin...
I agree that we are in a state of flux but this is characteristic of any change in epoch. As historical periods change a dominant culture would experience the death of hope; there is nowhere to go but down. Perhaps we are in the process of resetting?
I'd argue that the bigger problem is not with individualist v collectivist but that "our" collectivisms are incompatible in the same way that French, British, Spanish empires were incompatible. The exception would be the Green Movement which has potential for global cohesiveness in future generations but that is tainted by political, economic disequilibrium. For now. My hunch is that the spirit of collectivism is returning (but it is just a hunch) and it has the potential to create a new, truly global, Civilisation. Maybe through the green movement, could Al Gore be the benevolent dictator? That is scary.
Sovereignty would make it difficult to impose one gov and multiple police-states would squash all rebellion in alliances. I'm a gambling man, where do we start?
