What if Hitler suceeded in his dream of one arian race. what if he eliminated all other races. would the world be a better place. dont think about how he got to be one race. but once he got there would his idea have worked. one race. one religon. one ideaology.

I don't see how. Mankinds problems do not stem from racial differences.

I suppose having one religion could reduce some problems... but then we'd simply have the problems of that one religion.

But to even suggest that the world would ever have one ideology is just preposperous.

How far was he planning to go? I'm sure if he succeeded there would have been disputes over hair color, eye color, build, and other pointless attributes.

It'd be alright I guess. Of course it wouldn't last long, as human evolution would have destroyed this ridiculous system within a very short number of generations.

Assuming it could last long, I guess it'd be a decent place to live in. Of course evolution would be almost completely halted.

The world would been an Orwellian police state.

Duh.

Strictly speaking, I don't think this is what Hitler envisioned. He wanted an Aryan Empire populated by more or less "pure" Aryans. But if we just assume that he did then my thinking is as follows:

"One race" would more or less stay, at least for many, many generations. However, racial strife isn't always just about people with one skin tone irrationally hating another. Often (more often than not I'd argue) racism is the most obvious outlet of more fundamental soicio-economic conflicts. Erase one obvious scapegoat and you just have to find another next time around.

"One religion" and "one ideology" both will fail because new ideas are always going to arise. To maintain the status quo, people with such ideas will need to be "re-educated" , exiled, or killed. Nothing good about any of that.
