less than 1% paid for the worlds weapons would be enough to put every child to school, still it doesn't happen. How can we change this?
Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
How can we change this?

It is not essential to have a military in most of these negotiations, however simply having it as a tool in a politicians arsenal is enough to make a war lord bend to the will of an opposing faction and also ensures that agreements are met and insured. nothing like a bullet to the head or the threat of a bullet to the head to make people do what you want them to do.
unless you can find a way of ensuring that no one has the "I've got a bigger gun/more guns than you" argument does not get into play, then you have a solution to the problem... however I suspect that even if such a solution was envisaged, it would just be another political tool in the back pocket with the military solutions.
to get education to everyone, its a case of ensuring that the economies of the world have equal investment in humanity and getting them to invest in programs, that put all politicians in the same boat that would provide a court on which to discuss free world education. however I believe that at this era of our lives, education requires vast improvement in order to reach a level that would make it universal and desirable to all cultures and peoples.

if not, then it seems you want other people to pay less for military and give more to charity. you need to change your mindset then. you are not in position to tell other people how to spend their money. you need to look around at home, and see what you can spare and send over to the developing regions. or you personally, what can you give? you see, it is an easy position to find something seemingly unnecessary but expensive activity of someone else, and blame problems on it. but there are many problems with the world, and i'm quite sure you have a lot to do too. what about the european protectionism? wouldn't free trade in the field of agriculture greatly help developing regions? wouldn't getting rid of tariffs and trade regulations help them?
finally, you can try to convince people in the US for example to vote on candidates that plan to lower military expenditures. spread the word! explain to lame americans that their actions count, they are responsible for this massive waste of resources and for the damage the military machine does. i doubt we can convince them, but we need to try.

Every form of government as it has been known up until now will no longer exist, and this extends to the judicial and tax systems as well. All campaigning and competition as it is currently associated with politics have no place in the Equal Money System. In the Equal Money System leadership takes on the form of response-ability with integrity of upholding equality for all living beings which will be measured as what is practically best for all. Leadership is thus earned through ones unwavering living of equality.
Leadership is carried out by each individual member of the group, which exemplifies the applied direct-democracy approach where all are working together to make collective decisions on the premise of what is best for all. Individual members, who have a proven track record of speaking and acting with integrity, may hold positions of supervision and administration. However, positions of this kind do not hold any power over others. They are merely an organisational tool in facilitating management of procedures or processes, in the execution of previously determined decisions made by the group in the principle of what is best for all. Individuals in these positions are nominated by the group through consensus, whereby these positions are held on a one term non-renewable basis.
As individual leaders in their respective fields all are all driving to create the best conditions for all, thus there is no need for debates, attitudes or opinions. What each leader is contributes to the research committees are options pertaining to the handling of specific issues. These considerations for the research committees determine [..] taken from

i certainly hope not. i imagine the Supreme Planning Board sends me a note that according to my current neural state, body chemistry and the state of the economy, it is the time for me to eat 135 grams of chocolate icecream.

So true, its just the case, that some have a higher radius of influence than I have for example, that's why I like your following statement:
'i doubt we can convince them, but we need to try.'
And as an individual you can live in a way that is best for all and only supports the things in life that are best for all.
