B. Shurk, “Globalism Must be Destroyed,” gives us a concise checklist of the reasons why we fight globalism and must destroy it, before it destroys us. Globalism has made an elite wealthy beyond the kings of old, but it has been at the expense of unemployment and an erosion of the standard of living of so many in the West. The securities paid for by generations of struggle to secure basic rights, have slowly, and sometimes not so slowly, been eliminated. The globalised world is one of equality to be sure, but an equality for the non-elites, who are all equal at the bottom of the wheelie bin. Globalism, and its ethical philosophy of cosmopolitanism says that the interests of the global population must be placed over the special interests of family, tribe, community and nation, a total unnatural position that most past cultures and most non-Western cultures today, would find to be absurd.
