So a "notion" such as free trade is non-globalist if it is for your own benefit but globalist if it benefits both parties?

Trade is never free. Buyer and seller each act in their own self-interest, whether "enlightened" or not. Benefit is simply a vector measurement in one or the other direction.

Agreed. It’s also easier to trade with people who don’t want to kill you. Maybe I am a globalist. ;-)
