I'm going with Rumsfeld, Cheney, et-al from their PNAC document on this one. That is, the most likely end-game is a one-world government. In that case I would expect the management strategies promulgated by the leadership to be in many ways almost indistinguishable from those employed by the Soviets and other totalitarian regimes, and I would hold near zero hope for anything resembling 'democracy' (though it may well be called that.) The methods of control used would include austerity, surveillance, anonymous informants, etc. Basically any structure which keeps individuals separate and suspicious of one another.
Of course they're going to try, but they can't pull it off.
They're a generation too late.
I think you have that almost exactly backward. There is a strong push toward indoctrinating U.S. public school kids from an early age to being conducive to 'global citizenship' as one example of the necessary requirements. Efforts in this direction have been going on since I was a kid in the 1970's but in fits and starts, and things like genuine individuality, healthy skepticism, and some degree of self sufficiency were still at least tolerated. When the generation who are now in grade school matures, look out.
