“I Am a Federalist” - chapter section in the Memoirs of René Lévesque (published 1986)
KEY EXCERPT:
17. I Am a Federalist
[ ... ]
“All of this means that on two or three absolutely essential levels, the nation-state has had its day. It must give up part of its powers and resources to an authority that would be a Security Council for humanity at large. It’s not for tomorrow, of course. But if we want to count on a tomorrow, no other solution is in sight. There, at any rate, is what I think, and what I repeat every time I get a chance, and what I’ll risk saying again here: to put an end to the massacre of innocents, to give children everywhere a minimum of equal opportunities, one cannot be anything but federalist . . . at least in world terms.”
