[Lloyd said]   [Lloyd Miller Sez:] Bertrand Russell was environmentalist extremist, anti-industrialist. . .  thought the British Empire could be preserved or replaced with World Government through his idiotic ideas.  [Lloyd said] B.F. Skinner does debate the totalitarian idea in his Walden II book, where the creator of Walden II, named Frazier, was compared to a fascist totalitarian like Hitler, since he claimed that only a strong willed individual fascist leader could get such small socialistic communities started and keep them running.   B.F. Skinner was the professor in Walden II who at first strongly opposed Walden II, and the totalitarian Frasier but in the end decided to leave the University for Walden II.  B.F. Skinner is a genius of the best sort since he criticizes his own ideas, and even hints that he is aware of some of their faults.  I got the impression from reading Walden II, that B.F. Skinner was not at all like the ruthless scientist that he is portrayed as publicly in many biographies about him, but rather a very kind hearted person who would rather live in a world where people care about each other.     Without B.F. Skinner's Walden II book, there would be not formal theoretical and academically supported text book on such ideas as are presented in the book.  I can quote a famous psychologist like B.F. Skinner to support new shared community ideas.   I will have to read Russell's ideas on world government. I would hope they are much better than the United Nations.  I developed world governmental ideas which are not centralized nor nationalized to protect only one majority preferred elite culture, but localized to protect each local minority culture and each individual world wide and to end needless nationalized wars.     Much like B.F. Skinner, Bertrand Russell also was a revolutionary genius, who as a perfect example of Plato's Philosopher King should encourage a world government that would end needless nationalistic world wars, and yet protect each minority culture and each individual world wide form the mass majority culture which presently is a communistic third and criminal underworld world culture promoted by the United Nations.   Best Regards,   Baron Volsung, www.rhfweb.com/baron President Thomas D.
