The fact that arguments A,B and C, have been made against idea X, and are now being made against idea Y, do not mean that idea X and Y are similar.

Also the arguments aren't even really the same.

The only argument that is the same is "Also I doubt that you could get a majority of the people in the world to support world government." In 1750 you could have substituted "abolishing slavery" for "world government" and that statement would probably be true. But that's a flimsy reed on which to hang the idea that opposition to world government is like opposition to slavery. Primarily my argument was one about greater freedom and protection of individual rights. Slavery is exactly the opposite of freedom and respect and protection for individual rights.
