"People resist a global regime, as you do. But people can be halfstepped into anything. Incrementalism makes it hard to draw a line. With small changes, drawing a line in the sand can be easily spun as stubborn and intransigent, making the act politically infeasible. The economy is a big halfstep, which is why it is advanced first.

But if we do not draw that line, we will find ourselves minor characters in a science fiction story about a future abusive world power."

This is a very good point and well put. The blue collar workers were hardly noticed when their jobs left the country. Now that the middle-class is being gutted, and at such a rapid pace, Globalism is being noticed by at least some of America.
There is a disconnect though; those who believe in "free trade" fail to see that we do not and probably never will achieve "free trade". Their indoctrination is so complete that they are blind to the enormous Trade Deficit and 200 years of Protectionist Tariffs in America. (Those would be the first 200 years that built a strong country and a stable middle-class.)
More importantly, they fail to see that they are falling into the hands of the Globalists.
I'm not sure what the next step will be, a one-world currency? Erase the borders? It's around the corner.

Erase the borders. 1) sovereignties are trying to do it already and 2) global "free" trade implys no political boundries.
