Embrace Quote by Carl Schmitt
“A world state which which embraces the entire globe and all of humanity cannot exist. The political world is a pluriverse, not a universe.”
About This Quote
A single global state cannot exist because politics is inherently pluralistic, not a single unified system.
In simple terms: World politics is diverse; a single state is impossible.
Accept political diversity and work within multiple systems.
