You should also keep in mind that, like many things, the fact that we have these military industrial complexes is based a lot on game theory; if one country has an army and a taxation revenue to maintain that army/industry, all other countries will tend to follow suit in order to remain competitive and be able to defend themselves. Unless all countries simultaneously demilitarize completely, this machine is not stoppable. Just an opinion.

Which is why we need new systems of infinetly scalable governance/resource distribution and protection that do not utilize the same competitive military strategy utilized by non-consensual governance.
We're not saying we don't need police/military-level protection on this planet. We're saying the way our militaries are run needs to change. The centralization of military-level power(as well as decision making and resources) is the single greatest cause of disharmony on this planet
