This article is the first of seven articles that will have as their central theme the salvation of humanity from the threats that exist on planet Earth and, also, those from outer space. In addition to this article, the following articles will be presented, in order:
• How to save humanity from natural disasters caused by earthquakes, tsunamis and eruption of volcanoes
• How to save humanity from the collision on planet Earth of bodies from outer space
• How to save humanity from the cosmic rays that can devastate life on planet Earth and threaten human beings in space travel
• How to save humanity from the catastrophic consequences of the continual increase in the distance from the Moon to Earth
• How to save humanity with the death of the Sun and the collision of the Andromeda and Via Lactea galaxies
• How to save humanity with the end of the Universe
This article whose theme is “How to save humanity from social, economic, environmental and wars devastation in the 21st century” aims to propose the adoption of strategies capable of facing three devastating crises that threaten the future of humanity in the middle of the XXI century. The first crisis is related to the economic and social damage produced by capitalism that will culminate with its predictable end in the middle of the 21st century, the second crisis concerns the worsening of the environmental damage produced by capitalism in the 21st century with the depletion of natural resources, the emergence of new pandemics and catastrophic global climate change, and the third crisis may result from the worsening of conflicts in international relations produced by capitalism that may lead the world to face the multiplicity of localized wars and even a new world war in the XXI century. This article presents the necessary strategies to save humanity from social, economic, environmental devastation and wars in the 21st century, supported by in-depth research on the development of capitalism and its future, on the degradation of the environment and its harmful consequences, as well as about the wars that broke out in human history and may break out in the future.
As a summary of this article, it should be noted that, after analyzing the social, economic, environmental and wars caused by capitalism throughout history and proposing strategies to overcome them, the following conclusions were reached:
The serious economic, social and environmental damage and conflicts in international relations produced by capitalism throughout history, which will continue until its foreseeable end from the middle of the 21st century, point to the need: 1) to build a new model of society to replace it in each country focused on economic stability, social well-being and environmental sustainability; and, 2) the implantation of a democratic world government to order the global economy and the environment and ensure world peace. The incessant degradation of the environment and the catastrophic global climate change point to the need: 1) the adoption of the sustainable development model in each country and globally; and, 2) the implantation of a democratic world government to order the environment. In turn, the escalation of international conflicts produced by capitalism throughout history that tend to multiply in the future indicates the need for the constitution of a democratic world government and a world parliament to eliminate global economic chaos and ensure world peace. These are the main conclusions to avoid that an unprecedented crisis of humanity endangers the human species and life on the planet in the 21st century.
Therefore, in order to save humanity from the social devastation caused by the economic and environmental crises and wars in the 21st century, it is necessary to enable the construction of social democracy along Scandinavian molds in each country in the world with the necessary adaptation and the implantation of a world government adopting the strategy exposed in our book Como inventar o futuro para mudar o mundo (How to invent the future to change the world), published by Editora CRV from Curitiba in 2019, which considers it necessary, at first, to create a World Forum for Peace and the Progress of Humanity by civil society organizations from all over the world countries of the world.
At this World Forum for Peace and the Progress of Humanity, the objectives and strategies of a worldwide movement for the construction of social democracy in Scandinavian molds in each country of the world with the necessary adaptation and the constitution of a democratic government and a world parliament should be discussed and established aiming to sensitize the world population and national governments in order to make a world in which freedom, equality and fraternity prevail in every country in the world and international peace and progress for all humanity. This would be the path that would make it possible to transform the utopia of universal confraternization into reality and end humanity’s calvary.
