Entry: The Archaeology of Globalism Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_archaeology_of_globalism#16233 Post contents: First the same problems and petrified thinking left over from a century ago: 1. There is no Left or Right. Political ideology isn’t grafted on a line from Left to Right. The map of political ideology looks more like a Chinese Checkers board. Neither the ecologists, nor the Whigs (neither "neo" nor "conservative"), nor the libertarians, nor the “Radical” tradition, nor Christian Democracy are Left or Right. If “Right” means Fascist, fascist, and Clerical Fascist, these are not “conservative” but revolutionary movements, and accordingly Toryism isn’t “Right”. If "Left" means Latter-Day Marxism, then this ideology itself has become neo-nationalist. Nationalism appeals to an number of ideologies and seems to take over them. 2. In the same way “conservative” and “liberal” are useless terms to be abandoned. 3. The proletariat the bourgeoisie no longer exist. The blue collar worker has been absorbed into what was once called the Petty Bourgeoisie, as has the “pink collar class”. The old Grand Bourgeoisie has morphed into a “Professional” class of experts and upper management. What’s left of the old “middle-middle” class of white collar lower managers exists only in statist bureaucracy. Further observations: i. <i>”free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities” </i> Good! With reference to our recent debate on “nation”, “Nation” and Nationalism are inventions of the centralizing and imperial state, be it done by Whigs, Jacobins, Bonapartists, Social Democrats, Marxists, Fascists and fascists, etc. ii. Globalism is both good and bad: ONLY four things should be Global: ecology, free trade, a world gold standard currency, and religion. The first two need a global police force. And free trade, global market being the only market for those who wish to prosper, also obliges that firms be allowed to choose <i>anyone</i> who is qualified to be in upper management and on the R&D staff, from </i>anywhere. </i>. EVERYTHING ELSE should be local, the polis. That means that the vast centralized state (“The Nation”) should be abolished or allowed to die, itself a dinosaur headed to the garbage can of history. Such a polis may wish to loosely confederate with other poleis for defense and agreed immigration (e.g., the Roman “Latin Rights”, the Lombard and Hanseatic leagues). Long live the New Venetian Age!
