There are three flavors of “globalism” right now. The distinctions are important.
- Global Trade: The original Eisenhower globalism was “free movement of goods, not free movement of people.” (The idea of “free movement of people” only existed at that time in global Marxist theory, typically under the guise of “global citizens” or “citizens of the world” as part of the weirdly Euro-centric nihilist fever dream expressed most fully in the form of the Esperanto movement.)
- American Empire: After the Cold War the professional political class believed “history is over” and other such nonsense and that instead of the traditional American strategy of balancing varioud powers against each other the US system could become globally dominant the way the British Empire had and simply force anyone to do what Washington wanted. These are the American Imperialists, and they have pursued an anti-Constitutional path of fascist economic policy (this is why there are no more American declarations of war — everything is a perpetual “police action” officially).
- Globohomo: This term was originally derived from the WEF’s own catch phrase “Global Homogenization” though the inextricable link to the radical LGBT+ political agenda legitimizes the tongue-in-cheek meaning. The Postmodern take on globalism is a resurrection of Marx’s dream of global governance, erasure of borders, abolition of culture, language, family, history, etc. but with different (usually fake environmentalist) branding. “Free movement of people, but there are no goods to even move.” This is Globohomo. This ideology is narcissistic nihilism in political form, and collectively suicidal (and as one underlying belief is that humanity is a disease, the part where humanity commits suicide together is not a mistake or innuendo, it is literally part of the plan — some weird techno-mysticism comes into the picture here I may write about some day).
It is worth noting that Islam is a slightly different flavor of Type 3 globalism. That is, Marxism and Islam are both merely variants of the same mind virus that literally follows the zombie T-virus programming from Biohazard: 1) Infect all possible 2) Kill any who cannot be infected 3) Repeat until the world has digested itself (and in both cases this world doesn’t count: to the Muslim this world is simply an illusory test before Heaven or Hell, and to the Marxist this world never existed in the first place so nothing matters).
JFK and Trump are global trade (Type 1) globalists — which isn’t “globalist” at all by the Globohomo (Type 3) definition, and really just means mutual nationalism combined with a guarantee of freedom of navigation to ensure trade can flow and piracy won’t be a problem, the idea being that trade generally promotes prosperity and peace. Today a useful re-branding could be “International Nationalism”. Re-forming a full political philosophy around this is probably the only escape nationalist movements have from falling prey to national socialist movements, as the Nazis have had about a century to shore up their political theory and rhetoric and, critically, are capable of organizing (something that nationalists are otherwise absolutely horrible at doing).
Bush, the Clintons, neocons, Monoparty, EverWar, etc. and anyone who has been in Congress longer than 10 years are American Empire (Type 2) globalists. They are enemies of the Type 3 globalists, but willing to unite to get rid of the Bad Orange Man (Type 1s) and criminalize MAGA if they can — both the Type 2s and Type 3s planning to kill off the other once the job is done.
Obama, Gates, Schwab, Soros, etc. are various sub-type of Globohomo pozzed global authoritarians (Type 3).
The American Empire is currently in an unstable alliance of convenience with their othertimes arch rival, Globohomo. This unsteady alliance has come about in an effort to defeat the MAGA idea, get rid of The Orange Man, criminalize nationalism, and so on. Where they differ is in whether the US needs to be weakened or strengthened, and whether humans are an asset or a cancer.
This unholy alliance is the greatest threat the American Republic has ever faced.
