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?
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.
