I would want unify the criminal code for all states and hand the authority over it to the central government.

Ripe for rampant abuses.

/s/DecentralizeAllThings and collectively create universal standards to measure things so everyone everywhere can benefit from "uniformity" that way, rather than from central command.

"Ripe for rampant abuses." How so? Most countries manage to do with a single, nation-wide legal system just fine. "...collectively..." That is what the national parliament is for.

Your blind faith in the system is unsettling.

I do not have faith in the market either.

I am skeptical of all things.

There is no "free market". Silk Road was hunted and killed.

"There is no "free market"."Very true. That is why I support tight government regulations.
