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!

It's telling that the Nazis, while rhetorically attacking capitalism and Communism as two sides of the same (Joo-Wish) coin, embraced the former (and were likewise, embraced or at the very least tolerated by most of the German bourgeoisie) once they gained power. The Nazis were fine with capitalism so long as the Master Race was the ruling class in the German system.

And for the Libertards here, capitalism isn't defined by "lack of government intervention in the economy"; if anything, fascism was in many ways an attempt to create an ultra-nationalistic and violently exclusionary form of capitalism.
