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?
Depends what you mean by “leftists”. The specific kind that’s on Lemmy classifies the word dualistically in terms of Western imperialists vs. non-Western anti-imperialists, as opposed to in terms of my nation vs. outsiders. It’s kind of an ill posed question, then. An anarchist might just say “I am a globalist”.
You’re getting a lot of emphatic nos because nobody wants to be associated with right-coded vocabulary, even if it’s more of a “wrong question” than a no. Same as if you bring up class war to the other end of the spectrum.
