I love the idea of living in a world like that of Star Trek. But I think "politics" will be removed from the equation—in other words, "governance." When we reach that point, I don't see governance as part of it; rather I see agreement and cooperation and a basic respect for all life. Getting there may include laws and governing but that is really obstruction of free will in a society which cannot govern itself, so as with any growth, we likely will go through balancing and rebalancing and learning and "that which is not needed will fall away."
