I don’t think oil is enough to usher in a one world leader because people can live without it. I think it is a huge factor though.

People in this day in the modern world cannot live without oil or an alternative. People are so dependent on it, it is unbelievable. How will you get your food and water? Dig a well? Drink out of polluted rivers? How will you get your food? Crops? Hunting? Are you going to make a bow an arrow? Will you eat leaves? How do you know which plants are edible, and which will cause adverse effects?

You talk as if you’re going to wake up one day and not have these things. It’s not going to be like that. It will be a slow process were things continue to just get higher and higher until the average person cannot afford it. Then the tasks that you speak of will get accomplished out of necessity. People have done extraordinary things out of necessity and I don’t see why this will be any different. BTW, everything you mentioned can be made or done manually, with the exception of making fuel(gasoline) and lubrications.
Modern society will have a difficult time dealing with it.
