No, I’m saying that the term ‘globalization’ has nothing to do with sovereignty.. Others here have explained it more concise than I attempted to do... Globalization simply put, means that you can buy something from someone across the globe.. that isn’t a threat to sovereignty. Globalism means that someone across the globe can make a law that effects you. That is a threat to sovereignty.

It is a threat to sovereignty when citizens aren't allowed to make the rules. For example,the WTO says you can't discriminate in trade, against a nation whose political system is different than yours. That opened up the door to trade with communist china and it has made them the most powerful manufacturing nation in the globe. What loyal patriotic American would want to trade with China, knowing that wealth would enforce communism as a viable political system? Why would we want to make a declared enemy wealthy with trade? It makes no sense with respect to sovereign nations, but the greedy globalists love trading with run down communist countries because of the availabilty of slave labor and the double and triple digit profits they can make.

That impacts our sovereignty severely, especially given the fact that we have outlawed slavery in our own country,but cannot descriminate against slave-labor countries under the global rules of engagement.
