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?

    It does not make any sense to oppose international cooperation. Like it’s moronic outside the scope of politics- it’s just straight up brainwashed. “The people are foreign and therefore we can only ever talk to them to exploit them!” Like really?
