There needs to be a global entity that is stronger then even a reformed UN could be. The basis behind the UN is rooted in the outdated Nation-State Paradigm. The UN isn't a government, it can't collect taxes, it can't set up global economic regulations to rein in corporations, it can do millitary operations only at the pleasure of the Nation-States that are now powerless in the face of the Corporatist thread. There needs to be a DEMOCRATIC global government that represents the people of the world as a whole and enforces the will of the people of the world as a whole in the form of a global federal governmental structure. We can't go back to the old concept of corporations without having a global government (I think corporations should be abolished anyway and replaced by a market socialist economy based on cooperatives).
