Humanity will never put aside its squabbles, no matter what technology or what new religion or what new ideology rears its head. Its been done before, tried before, and it has never worked.
Read George Orwell's 1984 for example..
The communists tried to bring about a Golden Age
Look where that got them..
There will always be a winner and a loser, a superior and an inferior. The only thing that matters is who, and from whose perspective you're looking at it from. 200 years from now China could very well be the next world Superpower, taking over the USA in pure economic domination alone. That would be their Golden Age. 2000 years ago Romans brought about their own Golden Age with fire and steel as the Greeks bowed out of history. 150 years ago Britain had the largest empire ever seen on Earth. Things change, but the same old players always remain.
