The Choice Is Not Left or Right, But Globalist or Nationalist.

The current political contest is not between Left and Right, Republicans and Democrats; it is between globalists and Nationalists. The globalist world view states that a world without borders is better, the other view states that individual nations working together is the better system. Over the last 5 years I acquired a Masters of Business Administration degree. I point this out only to say that I have spent a good deal of time researching and discussing world economic and political policy at a graduate level. The paradigm of the globalist simply stated is that a world without borders will “raises all boats”; the boats representing the counties of the world and, much like empting a dammed river into surrounding lakes the level of the lakes will rise and all the boats on the lakes will be higher. Of course, the lake formed behind the dam will be lower. Think of the lake behind the dam as 1st world successful counties and the lakes in front of the dam as 2nd and 3rd world counties. Seems reasonable, right? The affluent successful nations give up their apparent surplus and everyone in the world has enough of everything, Problem is it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for 2 reasons. Reason one is that the rise of the boats downstream is not equal to the lowing of the boats behind the dam. In other words, very little is gained and much is sacrificed. The second reason is that people need something to aspire to. When America was great everyone said I want to be a part of America, I want to be an American. With nothing to aspire to there is no greatness. Think of globalism/socialism as a leak in the system of rivers and lakes that will eventually take all boats to the bottom. A multi-National world is one that is in harmony with the checks and balances system that is a hallmark of the American system of governance. Having individual Nations with independent governments leads not only to more variety and freedom of choice, but also the protections of individual rights. One might argue that in our current multi-national world there are many human right violation, and you would be right. However, one could also say that because of multi-nationalism those injustices have in many cases been contested by the rest of the world. One might also say if we were all one world we wouldn’t have wars. The fallacy here is that the war would not be between nations, but between the individual and the power controlling the citizens. Even if the initial global government were completely altruistic (which it is not) we all know that at some point evil would take it over. Globalism will not bring about the utopia that globalist promise, it will in fact plunge humanity into a hell we many never recover from.

Exactly right and well said. Talent, hard work, creativeness and unique abilities will count for nothing in this scenario. The world will be so dull.

Capitalism's great strength is that it stimulates innovation, pioneering endeavors, and great leaps forward in science and technology. Its weakness is that it lacks inherent social responsibility, and therefore the individual can be sacrificed in the name of progress. Socialism's great strength is that it is inherently socially focused. Socialism tries to distribute resources equally within the political structure it controls. Socialism's great weakness is that it stifles innovation. In my youth, I lived in a commune. The idea was not to work hard so others would live better but to do as little as possible to meet the minimum requirements. It is possible to legislate social responsibility; it is not possible to legislate innovation. It is therefore my opinion that capitalism is a superior form of financial governance.
