The Earth is only one country.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

That is the pessimistic, or worst case. There is another option, but it will require a bit of sacrifice as well. One can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs.

Totally not getting a "voluntarily join our peaceful, stateless utopian society or we'll invade and kill you" vibe from this at all...

Unlike me (a heterodox Trotskyist), Trotsky was not opposed to national sovereignty. However, he believed it needed to evaluated in relation to the broader need for international revolution.
If Trotskyists were, by and large, opposed to national sovereignty, most of us would not support Ukraine against Russia. To me, I support Ukraine as a part of my broader opposition to colonialism and imperialism.
