Globalism Critiqued By James Reed

     A very good issue of the US anti-immigration journal The Social Contract, Summer, 2017, with some telling articles attacking globalism:  http://www.thesocialcontract.com/artman2/publish/tsc_27_4/index.shtml

     John Vinson, “Ending Nations Will Not End War,” criticises the universalism involved in a song like John Lennon’s Imagine, and Vinson is a Christian as well, who as president of the American Immigration Control Foundation, has written much on immigration control from a Christian perspective: http://www.aicfoundation.com/about.html.

     So, if you are a Christian and having problems about the immigration invasion, feeling that it is only moral to allow all that the corporate elites want to happen, note that there is help out there. Vinson is clever and has some good arguments:

“Even if globalism could somehow ensure peace, would it really be worth the price? Is peace something to be sought above every other value? In answer to John Lennon’s Imagine, one might reply that if there is nothing worth dying for, then there is nothing worth living for either. Among the things that a lot of people wish to live for are homelands where they feel at home, where their heritage and culture are secure. They also cherish the liberty to make that choice. They prefer a world with genuine diversity where different peoples can pursue different policies and visions. This diversity can reveal what is successful and what isn’t by comparison. Alas, there can be no comparisons in a one-size-fits-all mono-tone globe.
A most eloquent expression in favor of nationhood was that of the renowned Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who experienced the globalist regime of Soviet Communism. He affirmed that “The disappearance of nations would impoverish us no less than if all people were made alike, with one character, one face. Nations are the wealth of mankind, they are its generalized personalities: the smallest of them has its own particular colors, and embodies a particular facet of God’s design.”
Harmony among nations is a worthy goal, but it must presume that nations will exist. The attempt to abolish nationhood is war against humanity’s deepest sentiments and aspirations, and the waging of that warfare will not bring peace.”

    Tell that to Canada’s ultra-liberal, over-the-top globalist prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who joyfully declares that Canada is now a “post-national” nation because of mass (non-white) immigration and multiculturalism. There is no core identity to Canada. But, project that on a bit, and increase by many multitudes either Chinese or Muslim immigration. Canada will cease to exist, even as a post-national nation. Once diversity becomes too great, social order breaks down, as numerous sociological studies have shown:
