In theory, yes. People can learn a lot from one another and I think there are great benefits to having a diversity of ideas to interact with. Global citizenship just makes real for us what the internet tends to simulate.
But I haven't really thought through many of the implications of global citizenship, like the possibility of mass migrations upending local economies or even more multi-national corporations going to exploit populations of cheap labor or pollute local ecosystems. Maybe it becomes easier for warlords to take over territories because people will flee at the first opportunity they get.
I can't definitely say whether I do or not, but my tentative answer is 'yes'

Yeah, but we need to cure ills like autocracy, bigotry, and major corruption for that to be viable.

Before global citizenship, we need to have global economy.

"Global Citizenship". Very fluffy phrase but translates as global centralisation. Centralisation of power never works out well for the majority

Define global citizenship. My default was yes, but putting a lot of assumption into what that means.
