I agree with you.
I don't believe a "world government" or whatever one were to call it would be desirable. It would entail many of the shortcomings one witnesses in monopolies, except that its power would transcend economics. In my opinion, any such entity would be likely to evolve into tyranny given the power that would be concentrated in a single center. The kind of centralized bureaucracy that would be required run such an entity would be woefully inefficient and unresponsive to the diverse needs of the world's many peoples and regions.
