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?

Makes me think of Socrates’ ideal state where political systems would arise as needed for situations as they arise. In which case they would globalize as quickly as anything else. In which case I’ll defer to Socrates and say democracy is trash and not the ideal and so obviously doesn’t work globally. Ideal state

Merit based ownership where those most able would be called to lead as needed. Such systems could be coded into smart contracts (abstract away power) and eventually the best systems would spread just like anything else. Since politics is fundamentally about power unlike the other examples where power is side product.
