Reply #33: Depends on what you mean by globalization [View All]

[entanglement]

If it means more wealth for rich investors and CEOs in developed nations at the cost of war, misery and exploitation for everyone else, I certainly oppose it. But if it means bringing humanity together, I'm all for it. May I point out that the citizens of wealthy nations have historically enjoyed the benefits of globalization (though we didn't call it that) in the form of land and cheap raw materials from colonies, forced labor etc. It's only now, when some of the COSTS of globalization are becoming evident, that voices are being raised in protest. Strikes me as unprincipled and selfish. This is the reason that any workers movement must be international and inclusive in character, otherwise the Bosses win (and everyone else loses)
