Would we really unite?

I am a fan of several different franchises of science fiction, and I have a question here.

 

Would we really unite if we made it into deep space?

Would it be to our benefit to unit?

 

I ask this since like anyone, I can look at the different forms of government and cultures, and something hit me. Maybe the way the US of A does things isn't perfect. Maybe you need communism, or monarchies, or dictatorships to handle the culture in question.

 

Let's look at history for a moment.

 

Rome started off as a democratic nation, with checks and balances to handle power. As a nation is grew physically and proportionally outside the limits of what democracy could, so it became an Empire.

 

I am not saying that democracy is bad, but given voter dissatisfaction these days, it is hard not to wonder if there isn't a problem with the system as it relates to the governed. You don’t see the change into the new system until you cross that divide. It makes me wonder if while liberty is good for us, it is really that good for others. I mean the US has the most people in prison per capita on the planet. .

 

I can’t help but think if we make it into traveling between start systems if maybe, maybe we need this diversity for both our good as a species so we can understand others, and because we are all different culturally as well.
