In right wing social media activity I often see statements like “the globalists will fail” or
Globalists are evil
These terms are often associated with global-trade, liberal free-trade and open international travel. Also there is a often protested or controversial conference in Switzerland “World Economic Forum”, where rich and powerful people meet in Davos. It seems like the right opposes such internationalist conferences more than the left.
Do leftists oppose globalism?
I cant speak for other leftists but if there are no states this whole point becones sort of moot. We need global trade even in decentralizrd, stateless communities. But without a nation for this nationalism to take root in I don’t see it being as big of an issue. For instance, none of these right wingers complain about their cups of coffee in the morning and they’d be pissed if the trade routes that supply it suddenly vanished.
Didn’t Trump tariff coffee imports from Brazil or some shit? Is this a sign that Trump is anti-globalist?
No, this is called Protectionist trade policies. You can still practice protectionist economic policy in a “globalised” economy.
Like davel said “globalist” isn’t really a useful term.
You need to abandon the term “globalism” altogether. The left doesn’t use it, and on the right it’s a dog whistle. The word has no coherent meaning. It’s a floating signifier.
