Look, the term globalist is not offensive to me at all. It refers to the globe.
I actually enjoy breaking boundaries, I'm against individual countries having their own government.
So we should just allow globalization and World Government to take hold.
The problem with that is that there would then be no separate countries in which to seek refuge from a tyrannical government.
The most egregious perpetrators of murderously brutal conspiracies are governments upon their own innocent citizens. More than six times the amount of noncombatants have been systematically murdered for purely ideological reasons by their own governments within the past century than were killed in that same timespan from wars. From 1900 to 1923, various Turkish regimes murdered from 3.5 million to over 4.3 million of its own Armenians, Greeks, Nestorians, and other Christians. The Soviet government murdered over 61 million of its own noncombatant subjects. The communist Chinese government murdered over 76 million of it own subjects. The National Socialist German government murdered some 16 million of it own subjects. And that's only a sampling of governments mass-murdering their own noncombatant subjects within the past century. (The preceding figures are from Prof. Rudolph Joseph Rummel's University of Hawaii website at

What one should instead seek is decentralization of power: of reducing the political unit down to the individual; of making the individual a sovereign over their own body and justly-acquired property. For much more on that, below are vital articles concerning the nature of government, of liberty, and the free-market production of defense:

http://archive.is/I1mt4Concerning the ethics of human rights, the below book is the best book on the subject:
Murray N. Rothbard , The Ethics of Liberty (New York, NY: New York University Press, 1998; orig. pub. 1982).
http://mises.org/rothbard/ethics/ethics.asp ,
http://mises.org/rothbard/ethics.pdf ,
http://webcitation.org/5ve4GO9l5If one desires a solid grounding in economics then one can do no better than with the below texts:
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Economic Science and the Austrian Method (Auburn, Ala.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 1995).
http://mises.org/esandtam.asp ,
http://mises.org/books/esam.pdf ,
http://webcitation.org/63rQDYtj2The above small book by Prof. Hoppe doesn't delve into political theory, but only concerns the methodological basis of economics (i.e., the epistemology of economics). I would recommend that everyone read this short book *first* if they're at all interested in economics. There exists much confusion as to what economics is and what it is not. This book is truly great in elucidating the nature of economics and its epistemic basis. If one were to read no other texts on economics, then this ought to be the economic text that one reads. Plus it doesn't take all that long to read it.
Murray N. Rothbard, "Toward a Reconstruction of Utility and Welfare Economics", in Mary Sennholz (editor), On Freedom and Free Enterprise: The Economics of Free Enterprise (Princeton, NJ: D. Van Nostrand, 1956), pp. 224-262. Reprinted in Murray N. Rothbard, The Logic of Action One: Method, Money, and the Austrian School (London, UK: Edward Elgar, 1997), pp. 211-255.

http://pdf-archive.com/2013/08/28/rothb ... market.pdfThese texts ought to be read in the order listed above. I would also add to the above list the below book:
Murray N. Rothbard, America's Great Depression (Auburn, Ala.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 5th ed., 2000; orig. pub. 1963).
http://mises.org/rothbard/agd.pdf ,
http://webcitation.org/5v3cWFPsdThe above book concerns how governments create depressions (i.e., panics; recessions) through credit expansion (i.e., fractional-reserve banking and/or fiat money).
On the matter of politics in relation to God, see my below article, which demonstrates the logically unavoidable anarchism of Jesus Christ's teachings as recorded in the New Testament (in addition to analyzing their context in relation to his actions, to the Tanakh, and to his apostles). It is logically complete on this subject, in the sense of its apodixis.

http://webcitation.org/66AIz2rJwSee also my below article, which demonstrates the logically unavoidable correctness of the anarcho-capitalist theory of human rights. It doesn't derive an "ought" from an "is"--rather, it derives an "ought" from an "ought": an "ought" everyone must necessarily presuppose in order to even begin to deny it.

http://webcitation.org/63xyCLjLmFor how physics allows unlimited progress by civilizations--to literally infinite intelligence and power--see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also required by said known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.

The seventh section therein contains an audio interview of Tipler.
A number of these videos are not otherwise online. I also provide some helpful notes and commentary for some of these videos.
