I want some feedback on a pamphlet I'm writing. I just completed part one of it. What do you guys think of it?

Ok, let me make this clear

This is only the first part of a planned 3 part pamphlet. The next two parts will go more into specific ideology and methods.
If we so wish, we the people have the power to create a world without poverty. If we so wish, we can create a world without hunger and without disease. We could create a world without hatred and without intolerance. A world where tyranny and oppression will exist only in history, and serve no purpose but to remind us of what we have come from and what we may lose if we abandon our pursuits. We will create a world in which anybody with the will to work will be able to for fair wages in conditions befitting their state as human beings.
In our effort, we must start out small. We cannot sway the world in an instant. We must first fight for concessions of our cause in our own countries of origin. Such a flame of liberty started by a spark may sound absurd to you. Indeed, you have been born and bred to believe such revolutionary flame impossible in anything but the past tense. However, if the people of the world will come, as individuals, into the care of humanity as a society, these sparks worldwide not only have grown in our past, but will grow in our future into a flame, burning a path of freedom and Democracy through a mire of oppression and Fascism.
We must stand together as people, and so as brothers to create a world of both equal rights and equal opportunities, both social and economic. Such blights as racism, homophobia, religious discrimination, and sexism must be eliminated from this world. In turn, they must be replaced with global healthcare, adequate education, the free unionization of the workforce, safe workplaces, and the guarantee of fair compensation for labor rendered.
You may disagree with what I have to say. You may feel yourself to be privileged and believe that the equality of the citizens of the world would not benefit you. It is true that your immediate wealth may decrease. Or perhaps you will not be able to afford to eat by yourself in an afternoon what many would consider lucky to have in a week. However, in the long run- everyone is benefitted by equality by the very essence of the interlocking nature of equality and liberty. Without liberty, equality cannot be truthfully claimed. So it is true that there must be equality for everyone- or liberty for no one. If the rights of one person on this planet are allowed to be abridged, who is to say that you will not be the next to have your rights stripped of you?
And so we must stand together now, not as a nation, or an
empire, but as people united under our humanity, to promote values of peace, liberty, social cooperation, and equality. If we fail in this regard, and allow our liberties as human beings to fall farther to the wayside, we will find much greater challenge in overcoming our adversity at a later date. In fact, the day may come when we will find ourselves utterly subdued, lacking both in the means or the strength of spirit to rise against our enemy. So we must rise now.
History shows us a pattern. Republics and democracies, built on the ideals of a free state, have abandoned those ideals and risen into empires built on the oppression of those outside the Nation for the benefit of those within. Why? It is because throughout history we have separated ourselves. Being born into this world as brothers we have, rather than embracing our common humanity, created things to divide us. We have dehumanized each other by withdrawing into subgroups such as nations and corporations and religions. These divisions are the product of our greed, and must be put to an end by our passion.
In the begging, perhaps, when we were little more than animals, we had to band together in smaller groups for survival, and we warred with one another as a result of an inability to compromise. Now we have more food, and more ability to create energy, than ever before in our time of this Earth. We have means to communicate instantly with our fellow man separated from us by the entire mass of the Earth. So, yes, the divisions of our humanity MUST be put to an end. There is no longer any excuse, any reasoning, for the continued subjugation of our fellow man.
Within the system that currently exists, there will never be any such move from oppression to freedom. There will always be certain groups and entities that work to make the world a better place. However, their goals will ultimately be futile as long as those who work against their efforts are given not only free reign, but special preference by the powers that be. With not only morality and ideology, but also the logical protection of our liberty in mind, we must move away from the current world system. We must unite through our brotherhood as humans, and take the power away from the super-wealthy and political elite and put it back in the hands of the people. We must take the emphasis off of competition between nations, and instead place it upon cooperation between human beings. Only when this is done, and absolute equality has been achieved, will any of us be able to claim to be truly free.
