The irony is, of course, is that the edgy anti-Semites who hate "globalists" are actually useful idiots for the true megarich elite. Because they prefer the murky world of quasi Nationalism, where they can hide behind shadows and squirrel their fortunes away from the public eye. The EU, for all its flaws, is an attempt to control the forces of globalisation and put it in control of the people and avoid the rush to the bottom. It didn't always work out the way (because - you guessed it "anti-globalists" eroded the ability of its democratic structures to regulate the nationalistic attributes of the Commission) but it is an effort. But no, even that is too much for the economically illiterate protectionists of this world who prefer to hide away in their safe space nation state pretending that they somehow have axhieved a victory over anybody. Sad!
FF post. Those on each side that disdain "globalism" really are either xenophobic (primarily those on the right) or stubbornly living in the economy of the past (primarily those on the left). The way that I see it, "globalism," if managed properly, results in vast wealth generation while requiring proper protection of the most vulnerable - either by way of proper regulation or a safety net.
