The problem of global militarism can be defined as the predisposition for human societies to resort to organized forms of violence for the solution to basic social dilemmas. Human military organization and its mobilization has been increasing in prevalence and frequency in the last few decades. Militarism is accompanied by a Big Brother like control of information and behavior, and becomes a self-sustaining entity that exists at the expense of the body politic. More and more societies acquire access to modern weapons technology, without the degree of restraint needed to manage such technologies in a limited or responsible manner. (How can such technology ever be used in a completely responsible way?) 

 Social authoritarianism is a tyrannical, anti-democratic form of government that typically accompanies and is found associated with military style regimes. These organizations are corrupt, anti-democratic and rely heavily on the threat of forceful violence to the attainment of parasitic resource exploitation. Even traditionally democratic governments like the US and common wealth nations like Great Britain have demonstrated a marked increase in social authoritarianism over the last few decades, albeit of a "soft-gloved" and administrative manner that smacks of a modern form of a Huxlian dark utopia.
