Globalism is not dead. Watch the MSM reaction to Trump, or the stalwart RINO 50 for freedom or 70 for Hillary. That is the very picture of globalism. It is live and well. It recognizes the mortal threat to its continuing existence and is fighting back hard.
Now fortunately Globalism does not understand its true enemies, which are not Donald Trump, but the consequences of their viewpoint on the rest of the world. Radical Islam is antithetical to the globalist cause. So is American middle class well-being, and American middle class well-being is prerequisite to the American ability to create and project military power and the American support for using it. Little did the neocons realize how precious military power is, and how easily it is depleted if it is misused, like they did to upset the power balance in the middle east and let loose the dogs of barbaric islamic extremism - which until then had been kept in check.
....But globalism is in the dying process.
“Radical Islam is antithetical to the globalist cause.”
Poor logic there, Andy. Radical Islam is a tool to destroy American hegemony and the middle class. As an added benefit, you get the security-at-all-costs crowd on your side-even as they fund their own destruction.
Globalism isn’t about economics; it is the pursuit of pure power, and fear is the greatest power in the human arsenal. Collapse the world economy in concert with the greatest terror campaign in history, and voilè!
World Peace under the benevolent World Leader!
A new rational capitalist global economy where material wealth is equally distributed from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Peace will be assured through equal protection under Universal Law.
Except for a few of those pesky individuals who would rape mother Gaia for their own gain, everyone’s on board. Those others, those fanatics? The death of a few (million) radical bigots is a small price to pay. After all, everyone knows extremists are the moral equivalent to ISIS.
