What if there is an easy and painfully trivial answer to achieve world peace and avoid wars?
Imagine you are one of a million people on this planet who know the secret. Everyone else won't believe you because it is too simple and hence very easy to abuse in the other direction. What if it was as simple as flicking a switch and just doing it?
Here is the problem. If it just about flicking a switch, how to make sure people don't switch it from utopia back to dystopia?
Your utopia needs to be a self preserving system even in the face of violence. A pacifist system that isn't self preserving will be destroyed and taken over by non pacifist systems that are self preserving at least in the short run.
A democracy needs the backing of a military force to keep it alive. If there is something better than democracy then it will also need a military to protect itself.
