Most world violence would disappear if the pressures to maintain a region as a supplier of basic commodities were replaced by a sincere philosophy, and sincere effort, to support sustainable development. Few governments would endure for long if they rejected an offer to industrialize just because the conditions required a democratic government that recognized its citizens' full rights. Leaders who are reluctant to surrender their dictatorial powers will, under these conditions, risk almost certain revolution. In any case, these dictators would have been overthrown long ago were they not being kept in power through the external support of imperial powers . Since the goal would be to win hearts and minds through democracy and development, continuing to support reactionary regimes would be self-defeating.
Most insurrections are attempts to regain control of a people's own resources and destiny.
In short, to gain economic freedom. If these desires for justice and rights were supported by the powerful, instead of denied, the world would quickly abandon war. These insurrections could all be stopped dead in their tracks by honestly and effectively promoting democracy and capitalizing underdeveloped countries in trade for them giving up their weapons. This is what most are fighting for anyway. As production of armaments equaling several times the amount needed to produce industry for the world's impoverished would be eliminated, the cost would be nothing and there would be further substantial gains to the world in not having its social wealth destroyed by wars.
