What's a World Citizen Passport?

While this is the first I've heard of this, I've always wanted to renounce my citizenship, but never figured out what I'd do after. As far as passports or other forms of ID, this seems pretty cool, but whats the point in having a "World" Citizenship Passport if all countries of the "world" don't accept it.

Right now that passport seems to be money. If you have enough of it you pretty much can do or go anywhere you want.

If I remember correctly not too long ago some American paid the Russians 20 million dollars to let him fly up into space on one of their space missions.

That's going anywhere you want.

Well I should assume the first step forward to strike against capitalist passports. Why workers pay tax when tax going to wars kill others, seems mad very mad.

In modern times, the passport has become a symbol of national sovereignty and control by each nation-state. That control works both for citizens within a nation and all others outside. All nations thus collude in the system of control of travel rather than its freedom. If freedom of travel is one of the essential marks of the liberated human being, as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, then the very acceptance of a national passport is the mark of the slave, serf or subject. The World Passport is therefore a meaningful symbol and sometimes powerful tool for the implementation of the fundamental human right of freedom of travel. By its very existence it challenges the exclusive assumption of sovereignty of the nation-state system. It is designed however to conform to nation-state requirements for travel documents. It does not, however, indicate the nationality of its bearer, only his/her birthplace. It is therefore a neutral, apolitical document of identity and potential travel document.

A passport gains credibility only by its acceptance by authorities other than the issuing agent. The World Passport in this respect has a track record of over 50 years acceptance since it was first issued. Today over 150 countries (http://www.worldservice.org/visas.html) have visaed it on a case-by-case basis. In short, the World Passport represents the one world we all live in and on. No one has the right to tell you you can't move freely on your natural birthplace! So don't leave home without one!So basically seems like a bullshit gimmick (surprise surprise).

most workers have this strange aversion to being put in jail, no idea why.

Call me naive, but that doesn't sound too bad an idea.

isnt this rather redundant? If we ever came to live in a world where this passport was accepted then passports themselves would be irrelevant.
