You equate nation states with capitalism and competition - perhaps forgetting that nation states can *protect* and serve to diversify different experiments in living (e.g. scandanavian models of social democracy/french protectionism). When you have suceeded in your mission to flatten out all nation states under one-world-government where will be alternatives? diversity? resistance?
You'll maybe find that your lovely food-buying groups work well for those who mindlessly accept the limitations of their group-think, but for anyone who seeks an alternative lifestyle to this they will be excomunicated or banished. Sure you'll have a lovely community of friends, but you'll also be creating a lot of enemies. A dangerous game my friend.
So rather than "flail about endlessly in a quagmire of academic FUD" you'll be flailing about in an endless quagmire of mediocrity and drone-think. Happy (false) smiles as you slowly become prey to stagnation and eventual civil war.
