What we call “globalism” has been on the march for eighty years. A system that embraces centralized markets, bureaucratic regulation, international institutions, and so-called non-governmental organizations (predominantly funded by governments), globalism places significant power in the hands of a small collection of wealthy and powerful stakeholders from the planet’s top investment houses, corporations, law firms, universities, central banks, and government bodies.
Globalism speaks in the language of “democracy” while ignoring — or even criminalizing — the will of the people. Across the West, citizens have opposed open border policies that have flooded their nations with unassimilable, foreign immigrants. Globalists have categorized this dissent as “hate speech,” censoring — and even prosecuting — citizens for their social media posts and public speech. Globalists insist that there must be limits on free speech. They seek to punish “thought crimes.” They label opposing points of view “disinformation” or “misinformation.” In practice, globalists protect governments and institutions from public criticism.
Globalism also speaks in the language of “free markets” while heavily regulating industrial production, encumbering the use of private property, and manipulating currency valuation, stock markets, and trade. By effectively “printing money” and intervening in markets, central banks steal from citizens who save their cash earnings, inflate the prices of essential household goods, and protect privileged companies or industries deemed “too big to fail.” By ginning up “global warming” fears among the public, lawmakers, bankers, and bureaucrats have justified the imposition of “carbon controls” that regulate energy use, economic production, and human activity. By expanding public welfare programs while weakening protections for property ownership, globalists tax citizens at increasingly higher rates, redistribute earned income and savings, confiscate real property, and even permit squatters (often foreign migrants) to occupy private residences.
Globalism falsely clothes itself in principle and tradition. Its proponents speak of “Western values,”

The same types of people always dream of ruling the world.
Globalism is fascism and slave serfs. Freedom is globalism’s kryptonite.
YES.
Think UN. Very democratic. Everyone gets a vote. Are the nations and organization that democratic?
I will not ever think of the UN. The US needs to get the hell out of the UN!!
The UN needs to get the hell out of the US.
The powers that be don’t like that.
Great article. To all the above I would add that not everybody plays by Globalism’s rules. Some cynically exploit whatever they can from it - resources, market access, technology transfer, etc - while happily excluding others from their markets, imposing strict regulations on business to serve the national interest rather than acting purely for profit, etc. So it has not hit everybody equally. What it has especially done is weaken the West.
“Listism”
I propose this new word to describe writers who can manufacture this week’s column by creating a barely hung together list of grievances.
Shurk is a great writer, but even he (?) falls into Listism.
What we need is a tight opening paragraph in which they admit their impending List, and PROMISE SOLUTIONS AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE!!!
Then follow through with a List of
“How do we fix this?”
The answer is a League if Democracies with the US at the top able to expel members who stray.
Big time trade agreements between them and then have nothing to do with those that don’t follow the rules.
Nationalism and internationalism have to be balanced.
Otherwise we end up in bad places.
Nah...”democracy is 3 wolves and 2 sheep voting for what’s for dinner.
I don’t want to learn how to speak democrat it leaves a bad taste in the mouth and makes the nerves to go crazy.
