That is also wrong because the of amazing and utter confusion in the application of the term”globalization”, a term the Left happily misuses to confuse the average citizen, something the Left does purposely and very well.

Simply put, the confusion is mixing the proper application of the terms “globalization” and “open borders” as a threat to political and national sovereignty and freedom with the erroneous application to economics and the free market.

The voluntary cooperation of buyers an sellers in the market economy free of government interference presents NO threat to political boundaries and national sovereignty. It is how mutual trading partners create wealth and by definition has no government interference, just individuals freely buying and selling in the marketplace.

Globalization has also come to be a shortcut word for centralization (which I think is how it is used in this context).

And indeed there has been a worldwide backlash against centralization.

...the market economy free of government interference...
Specifically, which current or recent economies(s)? Or future, for that matter.

Reagan's presidency was a good time for America but it was certainly not free of government interference.

Governments will interfere as long as they exist. It is their only reason for being.
