Now that you mention it, there's a guy who seems to be pushing the same argument directly in non-fiction form: John Laughland. Essentially he seems to be saying (in a book entitled _The Tainted Source_) that the Nazis were the original globalists, and all globalists today are their heirs, and nationalism is the only defense of freedom. Which I admit sounds kind of silly in one sentence like that, and may well be mad for all I know. But he's not stupid and he writes well and his individual articles on the ICC are interesting (which is all I've ever read by him). I was wondering if anyone could supply any context for where he fits in in the world. His ICC articles have been published by both the Guardian and the WSJ.
