Wow..!

Capitalism may indeed lead to globalism but, I don't think that's inevitable. If/when it does happen, it'll happen organically. It won't be imposed as the UN is trying to do it. If it happens, it will be a federation of equals but, they have to be reasonably close to equal before the federation can form. I would have said that the EU was formed of near equals. Now I'm not so sure they were equal enough.

Think there is a pretty good body of research that Globalization is at least as old as Alexander the Great.
Globalization is usually recognized as having three or four different recognized drivers. (motivations). Political, Social, Economic, Religious and each effort at Globalization seems to be a different weighted combination of these.

I sure don’t see academia rushing to draw parallels between basic physical laws that govern our physical world (universe) and the things that govern our day to day psycho-social-religious lives
But there are quite a few broadly cited studies that refer to various kinds of diffusion. Social diffusion, political diffusion and certainly religious diffusion can be argued to be at play. [intersci.ss.uci.edu]

So, the point is that Globalization probably can’t be claimed to be the construct of a particular ideology or the blame put at the feet of a particular religion or political group..

We witness diffusion in play every-day and I would be surprised if we say to ourselves... ah, diffusion!

In today’s Instantaneous imagery and twitter universe global diffusion of an idea can take a few days or weeks instead of centuries...

A cohesive, coherent “idea” that appears to have (even low resolution) relevance and promise may be as governed by laws of the universe as much as your initial chemistry lab was...

Capitalism, Marxism, Christianity, Islam, Democracy, Theocracy and every system piggybacks on Diffusion or what we call Globalization...

Globalism is a broad term and the devil is in the details on it’s implementation. It’s not all bad or all good but allowing global conventional thought to rule will be very bad for US Constitutionalist and the US Bill of Rights in particular. The US can certainly trade globally without destroying our citizen’s liberty and allow antithetical foreign doctrine like Islam or UN agenda to weaken our Nation and it’s sovereignty.

Globalization is a pseudo-Marxist idea of centralizing power and wealth under the control of a small group. Shifting populations of less developed countries into the West and thereby eroding the established value structures and political systems. Extremely dangerous IMHO

Globalization is the UN telling everyone what we have to do, what migrants to take in and how to raise our kids (I live in a UNESCO community-they basically paid the politicians locally and now they teach our kids about trans & make them use wifi instead of pens and pencils) ect. Our system is crony capitalism. I am anti-globalisam. However, they've changed so many of our words that we need to redefine "globalism" to mean people in every nation reaching across the globe (flat plain) to help people in other countries maintain their national identity. If I want to see muslims I should go to Saudi except that I'm not allowed there and I agree with that. If we all looked out for our own best interest everyone would be respected.

You are likely correct to a point. As markets mature they should become more standardized.Wealth being more the norm than the exception. In this the similarities in interests and dependence should create deeper cooperation and shared goals. Those attempting to short cut the process with their elite visions are just vain self serving oligarchs. It will be some time before mutual growth and dependence out paces religious and governmental differences but it could happen.

Globalization, in terms of economics, doesn't mean free trade among nations. It means centralization of power in the form of regulation, treaties, redistribution of funds, etc., which ultimately strips nations of their own ability to trade as they see fit. Brexit happened (or is trying to happen) mostly because the EU had British markets in a stranglehold.

Globalization is the agenda of Socialism .

Don’t know much about it myself so I’m guessing anti-globalization is a bugbear of the Left (as it would be if it’s a natural outcome of capitalism). But if anti-globalization is opposition to the increase and influence of large corporations, then they should also oppose the UN and it’s influence. But the Left always contradicts itself.

I'm a product of globalization so I don't necessarily mind it per se I just mind how it's being done.
