It seems to be a common viewpoint that it's "obviously" naive to think that the same political institutions could work for everyone around the world.

But lots of day-to-day-life things (city structures, school systems, increasingly even food...) seem to globalize quickly just fine.

Why the difference?

seems like can scale but only by re-making the world as they see it

a form of colonization

maybe the viewpoint assumes "without homogenizing the diverse sets of values and ways of life of people around the world"
