Volunteer forces? Don't you think people are naive and selfish?
There is a need for government, weather or not you hate it. A small part
of the world is exploring the great majority and one day these majority
will revolt. Then, you will see a need for a world government.
You are picturing a giant, super-state in the forms of the American
government. That, I agree, could go wrong but my idea of a world
government is of a less powerful institution with local governments
assuring most of the world's policies.

Because it's the right path to follow for our species to have a future,
once people understand that, they'll want to change and we will change
peacefully.
We will have a world government in the future or we will have no future
at all.

World government for assuring peace, security, liberty and equitity
between nations that, of course, would have their own, local
governments.
