no the things like removing "u" from "colour" and "e" from "axe" and other developments were entirely done after you crossed the pond

Spelling is completely irrelevant. The spoken form of the language is vastly more important and the American dialect originates from an archaic London dialect from the late 1500s/1600s
American English is the real English

"It was this alone that drew so many Europeans to colonial North America: the dream in the settler mind of each man becoming a petty lord of his own land. Thus, the tradition of individualism and egalitarianism in America was rooted in the poisoned concept of equal privileges for a new nation of European conquerors." J. Sakai

the state is always supreme and should never be question. the state should dominate and rule the economy through planning and scientific reason. democracy is highly overrated and one of the worst systems. communism and marxist-leninism are too free and give too many freedoms to people who abuse it - this should not be allowed. instead, a state should dominate everything including the labor force and means of production. only then can everyone realize how the state is good.

- AHAKS NEWS RADIO -
01/15/1583 2000 GST: The trial for the murder of Faurgamu Reiks, the former head of National Revival who had connections to the terrorist group the Harjis Witoth, comes to a conclusion. Both Awareik Fairgunein and Hawi Marthal were convicted of second-degree murder. The public has a mixed response, with some agreeing with the sentencing and others believing the killing was justified. Presiding judge Aiktriu K. Kam responds, "I stand with the law, not public opinion."

deecntralization grants too much power to emotional humans, not scientifically literate and rational humans.

But with universal education we can all be scientifically literate and rational and maintain a great democracy and we can achieve this: The supporters of the region's administration state that it is an officially secular polity with direct democratic ambitions based on an anarchistic, feminist, and libertarian socialist ideology promoting decentralization, gender equality, environmental sustainability, social ecology and pluralistic tolerance for religious, cultural and political diversity, and that these values are mirrored in its constitution, society, and politics, stating it to be a model for a federalized Syria as a whole, rather than outright independence.

The supporters of the region's administration state that it is an officially secular polity with direct democratic ambitions based on an anarchistic, feminist, and libertarian socialist ideology promoting decentralization, gender equality, environmental sustainability, social ecology and pluralistic tolerance for religious, cultural and political diversity, and that these values are mirrored in its constitution, society, and politics, stating it to be a model for a federalized Syria as a whole, rather than outright independence.

Change out Syria and maybe anarchism and let’s achieve this.
