(41,453 posts)16. That isn't one-world government
'international courts, organizations and regional not national governments' do not make up one-world government. Indeed 'regional' is very much not 'one-world'.
I disagree with the poster. I think that, especially with the continued economic crisis, nationalism is likely to increase rather than decrease; and that regional organizations are going to find it harder to remain united (thinking of the EU here). But even if the poster turns out to be correct, it hardly means one-world government.
There were far more powerful cross-nation governments in the past than now; i.e. the British, French, and other empires. Nowadays, the issue is much more one of economic globalism than political one-world government.

It's worth noting that the modern day Peoples' Republic of China *IS* a fascist regime

Yes; but that makes the OP's point about '1.3 billion Chinese voters' irrelevant

Every one of the "one world" types I've met is simply a corporatist trying a new sales pitch. nt
