Unitism
The Founding Philosophy of the Unity Party of America
Unitism is simply the belief that, if we’re on this Blue Marble together, we should all start acting like it!
One way to think of Unitism is “Nations Without Borders,” and of uniting as Uniters within those nations.
The Unity Party of Germany is just one example of how this can happen …
The Blue Marble, an official publication of the Unity Party of America, will be coming one day soon!
You might argue that Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States, was the first Unitist. This paragraph is an excerpt from his second inaugural address in March of 1873. It should be noted that this remarkable set of four sentences delivered at the height of his power by a notably conservative President (Grant very much created the Republican Party we knew until Trump) was accepted with little objection.
“In future, while I hold my present office, the subject of acquisition of territory must have the support of the people before I will recommend any proposition looking to such acquisition. I say here, however, that I do not share in the apprehension held by many as to the danger of governments becoming weakened and destroyed by reason of their extension of territory. Commerce, education, and rapid transit of thought and matter by telegraph and steam have changed all this. Rather do I believe that our Great Maker is preparing the world, in His own good time, to become one nation, speaking one language, and when armies and navies will be no longer required.”
