    A lot of people who are anticapitalists and communists or anarchists posting here or at least they dont like globalism but I wondered if some people who dont like globalism are like nazis and fascists?

    On an economic spectrum, globalization probably falls somewhere around the centre-right.

    I think the majority of people that question globalism are average people working long hours and trying to make ends meet. Does that make them Nazis or Fascists...I think not.

    Corporations and monied interests that seek to control labor markets and pricing are closer to nazis and fascists.

    You say "right wing" but that is pretty vague. If you mean American politics, then let me just say that no matter who you vote for be it left or right, they're pretty much going to be for globalizations. Especially because IMO it's an inevitable part of technology.

    Anyway this has nothing to do with nazis, or fascists. Being for or against globalization is exclusive of those things and it all depends.

    Economic globalization is a right wing thing because leftists seek economic independence.

    Globalization is a necessary step that humanity has to take, and is taking it (we have been taking it for hundreds of years now).

    It depends on the definition of globalization, is it financial or sociological?

    I think leftist want the whole world interconnected through communication, whereas I think the right wants a world econimically based on their rules and laws of conduct. They want to set the stage and control the action.

    china is a taker, not a giver.

    america is a giver, regardless.

    i think america better wake up, bush is closing one eye to a commy country which is 1000 times worse than castro.

    to the topic, i regard it as a 70/30 % yes.

    the funny thing is that the underlining message of freedom is the oppression and suffering while another party benefits. while others suffer, the other party is given a choice to enjoy or forfeit the benefits.

    example Iraq.

    to be honest, i dont like globalization and diversity. no offence.
    i am studied marketing in university. the first topic is globalization.....

    instead of marketing to just single market, you have a variety of markets from different countries. a huge range of opportunity and problems.

    more money, low labor, cheap goods, increase your profit margins, big companies who profit from the global transition buy up smaller companies making it a monopoly in the market. therefore customers are at risk of only buying goods from a few big retailers instead of healthy competition. this results in the lack of employment and the risk of people getting taxed than their they are earning.

    to the baby boomers of the big corporations, one of the biggest mistakes is that you are ripping off your future grand children's generation. welcome to the great depression Part 2.

    what is wrong with commy countries as you say?
    America is the country most people in the world hate now and they fear america much more than china because of the way that america just invades everyone and kills all their people and just does it for money.
    China hasent invaded anyone as much as america has and china has existed for thousands of years longer
    I read somewhere the other day that america has invaded many more countries than china in the same amount of time

    Globalization is closer to the economic right because the economic right favors fewer economic restrictions. Globalization can be positive (and to do so requires government intervention), but if it occurs with outsourcing every (formerly) good-paying job to 3rd world countries, global monopolies, etc., you might as well consider the corporations your next government. Basically, if the effects of fiscal globalization get stronger and regulations disappear, what would be the incentive to offer you a good job when it can be outsourced to some third-world country for 1/10 the price in salary and double the hours?

    That's fiscal globalization, but indeed, social globalization is something you'd see support for on the left side of the spectrum. I strongly support things like the EU and other positive integrations of nations for the benefit of humanity.

    Any group which feels that international big business is the way to go, (like Republicans), is for globalization. Communists governments just want to control the process of international industry. All globalization is is big industry gone mad.

    Where do you think your clothes, food, automobiles, and most of your consumer goods come from. This country produces very little. That is except the tols of war.

    Any country that puts business above diplomacy is out of control and as such Britain and the USA are guilty of destabilising world affairs in favour of money at the cost of lives. Britain is now a country that is so rebellious toward its political dictators that at last the political establishment shows its fear and contempt by turning the whole nation into a police state prison. The USA is doing the same - and neither is doing anything to promote peace or freedom for its own populations. They are so worried about the enemy within that they create the external enemy and call all dissenters "terrorists"

    All this is done because a few greedy bastards call their corporations ambitions "globalisation"

    I enjoy a little exaggeration and hysteria as much as the next guy but get a grip. The UK is nowhere near a police state prison. Try visiting Cuba if you want to know what a real police state is like.

    I think the only person i agree with is Pepik.

    Imho:
    I think every nation trades with each other and they vary in political ideologies and swing right/left. So no i don't think it 'globalisation' is 'right wing'. Whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean these days.
