Sure - it does. But it first needs equality between countries. This means that the wage, cost of living, and quality of life is generally quite comparable between countries. One country is not pillaging another and one does not exploit the other - etc.

The problem is that neoliberals and capitalists don’t want this because then they can’t have as cheap of a slave class that they currently do. HN is full of these types and why you’re not seeing this recognized further up.

Wage inequality is the biggest barrier to a universal passport. You need to get this part done first - and then universal passport and removal of boarders will be good. Then we can just have the United earth federation or whatever BS.

But that’s all like 1,000 years from now. By then - I presume we’ll have killed most of our species off and regress back to 1,000 AD.
