    If you could force people to be at peace with each other (Hypnotism, big bomb, wish, etc.) would it be right? I really don't have an answer. I mean, the world would be at peace, but it would not be by choice. What's your opinion?

    Also tried in the Anime Code Geass. ;)

    In real life, I would say this would be wrong, as I do not support thought control of any kind. Peace induced by force is not true peace, just a system of control where differences and issues are suppressed, rather than settled.

    I'm not saying war isn't stupid and terrible, but this would not be the answer.

    World Peace is impossible simply because it is so forced. When you force World Peace, sure you can maintain it by controlling everyone, for a while. But one nation will inevidably screw over another and they'll end up shooting and you've just lost World Peace.

    It cannot be controlled, and if it could, it would be immoral. It would just be an arbitrary line you dictated between War and Peace when there is a lot of gray area inbetween.

    i agree, it wouldnt be peace if it was forced anyway because you would need to enforce it thus braking the peace

    Peace can only come through the international class struggle. A Classless Society is a Peaceful Society.

    It would of course have to be an international Classless society because as we know the USSR wasn't peaceful due to Nazi, and then Western Aggression.

    Would you then define classes as differences that would cause people to struggle against each other? Because political struggle [i.e. war] is class struggle?

    War by the rich and ruling class to obtain maximum profit, increase their influence or increase their power.

    I was asking about your definition of classes, not war. I am familiar with the definition of class struggle.

    I was wondering if you meant an international classless society would be a peaceful society by nature because class struggle is the root of all conflict and classes the definition of irreconcilable differences?

    it would be inhuman because it would go against the human instinct.
    And how would a issue that can't be solved at the table be solved.

    World Peace can be assured global trade and the individual bonds that happen across border occur on a large scale. Trade is a win-win situation while war is a win-lose situation (or sometimes lose-lose).
    "When trade doesn't come across borders, soldiers do"

    We can take the Roman strategy and create a wasteland, then call it peace.
