Added content nd sources on Arguments against globalism

[edit]

I added "Rethinking Multiculturalism: Cultural Diversity and Political Theory" Bhikhu C. Parekh as a source to expand the section, which was previously poorly edited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.147.11.76 (talk) 11:48, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arguments sections need removal or a rewrite

[edit]

The references in the "against" section do not substantiate the claim of opposition to "globalism" (whatever that might mean) coming from "the left within the context of the 1990s" and the linked WP article chiefly describes left-wing opposition to a particular, neoliberal model of global integration. This is why it's called the "alter-globalization" movement. The right-wing, contemporary usage of the term is verifiable.

More importantly, the rest of the section is dedicated to criticism of the term's usage, from critics describing it as a far-right conspiracy theory and anti-Semitic slur. That's not opposition to "globalism"; it's opposition to calling things "globalism" -- which is notably different.

In the "in favor" section, the World Economic Forum reference makes no mention of how "proponents of globalism believe in global citizenship" and The Nation simply describes "many citizens of the world" in the sense of various different citizens living in different parts of the world -- a concept that could just as easily have come from any hardline nationalist. I don't know whether the assertion of support for "global citizenship" is correct, in regard to the term's meaning (if indeed it means anything at all), but it's certainly not supported by the references given. fi (talk) 14:36, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anti semitism

[edit]

I'm aware that some of the critics of globalism especially on the internet are far right people who make a connection between globalism and jews. But I remember my teacher also teaching us about the negative sides of globalism and he definitely was not far right or an anti semite. An online friend was also saying it was bad for workers rights and that I had no idea how bad it was and he wasn't these things either and was a person of color/ from India. I came here to learn about what globalism means but this wikipedia article is really misleading. I find a subpart about the article informing that there are far right conspiracies about it appropriate but it should definitely not insult anyone who is a critic of globalism in the first paragraph like this. The anti semitsm and far right claim does not belong in the basic definition part of the term which is the first paragraph. 2003:CD:5F3D:5300:D82D:5FF:FE6F:5561 (talk) 10:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Victor Orban is not antisemitic, and criticism of the George Soros NGO network is not an "antisemitic trope"

[edit]

Hungary's prime minister Viktor Orbán has used antisemitic tropes in accusations against globalists, espousing a conspiracy theory of a world network controlled by Hungarian-American philanthropist George Soros

This paragraph somewhere between plain false and misleading.

Victor Orban is a strong and consistent supporter of Israel, and Hungary is a welcoming and safe country for Jews.

"In the 21st century, Hungary is known as one of the closest allies of Israel in Europe, breaking the European consensus many times and standing on Israel's side. The Hungarian and Israeli leaders have both made official visits many times." Hungary-Israel relations

Mr Soros' Open Society foundation has doled out billions of dollars to dozens of NGO's and middlemen in many countries. These dollars come with a clear political agenda. It is neither antisemitic, nor a "conspiracy theory" to point this out (as Mr. Orban did). SelfOwnedCat (talk) 05:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
