>Very good article, but I think for many people, we need to step back and define Globalism (& Globalists) vs. Globalization.<

And just who are you attempting to protect by your gobbly gook? A Globalist embraces Globalism with the goal of Globalization. It is as simple as that.

See post #10.. Globalization is an economics term that is often misused when referencing Globalism...

Globalization is a simple principle that trade and communication is easier because of technology improvements. For example, you can go on line right now and buy something directly from Ireland, using US dollars because technology has improved trade to the point that transactions can be ‘global’.

Unfortunately, so many people have interchanged the terms that, just as your reaction shows, the economic principle that has nothing to do with political sovereignty is too often mistaken for that.

Is it? If it is so simple, then where does the good/bad enter into it? Must be more to it.

Beware of those the become very wordy when asked simple, specific questions.

It's a common red flag.
