/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I think the language of "globalization" is an attempt to obfuscate political economy and we should really try to avoid using it.

Idk what this is or how it differs from internationalism, but I just like internationalism.

I think Capital is trying to obfuscate everything, I don't think we should dismiss people's genuine dislike of economic imperialism just because they use a term that's been co-opted by right-wing politicians. I mean, would we even be anti-idpol if we weren't willing to engage with right-wing talking points seriously and trying to understand where these people are coming from? Granted, that led to a lots of conservative socialists joining Leftychan but an attempt was made.

Globalism is in fact a scientific and correct term, whatever use righttards make of it. Globalism is capitalism in the stage of generalized international division of labour. Imperialism too was a word invented by rightwingers and guess what? Lenin investigated the objective phenomenon behind it.
Dogmatist and larper retards refuse the term just like 2nd internationalists refused the imperialism theory and they in fact advocated for imperialism. Dengoids also seek refuge from it because it implicates China - no China no globalism - and denies the superstition of an all powerful nation-state (like it was in the imperialist era).

The term is "neoliberalism": the economic and governing doctrine of deregulation and corporate supremacy. That's what neoliberalism is and it's been articulated as neoliberalism for over 50 years now. We don't need to invent new language to describe the same shit that's been going on since the 1970s. The term "globalism" was created to obfuscate what's actually occurring–the world-wide undermining of governments and sovereignty by trans-national corporate power. There is in fact nothing wrong with a holistic global outlook and we should welcome global collaboration on problems that cannot be solved at a nation-state level (such as environmental protection and sustainability). The problem is not having a holistic global perspective of the world, the problem is allowing capitalism and corporate power to escape the ability of states to control them. It's very important to be clear about this or we just cede political ground to crass nationalism, which will undoubtedly give way to catastrophic wars just like WW1.
