Was it every anything BUT that?
Nope. It was founded by International Socialists to advance the cause of International Socialism.
The UN was founded on failed principles of the idea that the “civilized nations” trusted each other, were willing to pursue a common goal, and were also the ones who knew best.
Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points outlines the whole idea that they tried unsuccessfully with the League of Nations, and was crudely regurgitated with the United Nations.
The problem here was that in this all-inclusive net, we opened the doors of the UN for sheer communist influence from the start, especially with the Security Council and the voting system.
The UN was based on trust, trust that was not deserved nor wise from the get-go.
