28. The concept of unity is good. But expectations must be to equalize labor conditions.
Actually I have no trouble with globalization in principle if the effort is to pull everyone else up instead of pull US down to their level.

When the Chinese compete on a level ground with environmental, labor, and other concerns being equal to our own (which obviously still need to be worked on) then this is a great thing for everyone including, and especially concerning, the workers in the other countries.

Ultimately, globalization will take place and some time, probably in the distant future, there will be a global federation that includes a majority of the countries. But it should be based on true democracy, not the emergence of some corporate mega-state (as is now happening).
