Supra-nationalism: Good or Bad

The debate on supra-nationalism finds merit in both pros and cons, in it's current and evolving state of definition it can appear as both something worthy of support and attack. The points made on the side of those in pro resonate most with me given the great and far reaching benefits I see in supra-nationalistic organizations, namely with respect to war and economics. Sure those opposed say that supra-nationalism can lead to the loss of a national identity, it can allow failing states to bring others down, and even encroach on some necessity for regional sovereignty. What seems to be forgotten is that we are all simply creatures roaming on open lands with contrived borders and cultures. Supra-nationalism suppresses global conflict, it allows smaller nations to band together and have a voice, it provides for failing states so that the citizens within them won't suffer as a neglected populace. Supra-nationalism is a move towards a more cohesive global citizenry which places less emphasis on selfish and petty nationalist desires and instead focuses on ensuring peace and provision for everyone.
