I am talking about more in theory than anything else.

At present, we are on the same page.

A 'higher' form of government is useful if it prevents the lower form from passing freedom inhibiting laws and doesn't pass any laws itself.

Again, this is theoretical and described a bit in that link I posted.

Even theoretically, this higher government would have to have the power to enforce its prohibitions against the lower governments. And once it has this power, it can be used for other purposes under various pretexts. And theoretically, that's playing with fire when you're doing that on a global scale.
