You need to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between wars/deaths and order, not just a correlation (if there even is a correlation). Show us that the body count is declining because of a new order.

New Secular Order Has Problems
We should actually promote a NWO just so that we can know who owns us and demand a redistribution of wealth and an end to poverty.
The challenge is in the unification of "we". People rarely bite the hand that feeds them, even if they abhor the wealthy.

True to a point but the filthy rich were not supposed to get as greedy as they have.
Have a look and tell us if you think that the situation is getting immoral on the part of the rich.

Speak for yourself. I'm not a slave to anyone.
To me it seems as if you want to be a slave. To me, personally, you seem to be quite pathetic as you want to be a slave.

62 people
I don't know about a new world order but it was announced this week that 62 people have more money than 50% of the world's population combined (3.6 billion people).

Yes, and the President of my country who got a private residence built from taxpayers money. And he got millions from taxpayers. Yet, he just had a twentieth child from his seventh wife. All being paid for by taxpayers, of course.

That happens because the masses will not make moral judgements thanks to their slave conditioning of kowtowing to their masters.
I have posted this often while asking if it is showing an immoral situation and almost no one judges it at all.

With that kind of slavish mentality, the masses will never live in the democracies they crave and will just settle for the oligarchies we all live in.

The French are no different.
Communism is the anwer, sadly that doesn't work either.
The nearest we've achieved are the liberal democracies of Scandanavia, and they're hardly perfect.

Re: 62 people

We have never really had a communist nation with a flat socio economic demographic pyramid. Even Russia and China have/had hierarchical shapes to theirs.
We need to have democracy dismantle our present oligarchies and produce a moral looking socio economic demographic pyramid for the whole world.
That is the moral way to go.
At present, conditions are such that those at the top are protected the way no one else is as the system protects their money and position. That is a form of eugenics at work.
I am putting links to a lot of information below. I hope you have the time to have a look at it.

You need to ask yourself why? They had great moral ambitions but all failed.
It's generally called 'the human condition'. We're born to compete and look after our own. Social morality grows only very slowly. We're not ready to share fairly yet; as a species we're still childlike and greedy.

History
It would be interesting to see how this inequity has changed over time. It appears to be worse now than a decade or 3 ago. Maybe the worst in the last century.
Is it as bad as the late 1800's in the era of the robber barons?
How does it compare to medieval Europe's feudal societies?

Re: History
The word has always been massively unequal. But I suspect the real gap was wider then than now. Or another way of putting it, it's probably better to be poor today, than rich then.
The reason is the way GDP was static for thousands of years, then grew exponentially after the enlightenment and industrial revolution. (But, of course this is a very western-centric view of the world.)

Re: 62 people

You seem to be saying that what I think are our strong points to be deficits for mankind.
The ambition to have us all the same is hardly moral. It may in fact be immoral. We used to think eugenics to equalize us all to be immoral. I think it still is.
I do not see us as greedy but do recognize we have a selfish gene that wants to see each of us become the best or fittest of our species. I see nothing wrong with our instincts and would not try to work against them.
If you know of Jung and Freud's Father Complex, you will know that our instincts drive us to compete so as to make us the fittest. If they did no, the weak would definitely inherit the earth, as Jesus put it, but that goes completely against nature.
The drive to the greatest fitness is not a deficit but man's greatest asset.
