Right and Left Globalism

[Editor’s Note: the following has been adapted from Salter’s 2003 book On Genetic Interests, Family, Ethnicity, and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration, with author’s permission]Globalization is a fact. It is the actual integration of international markets for goods, services, labor and finance. Globalism, by contrast, is a doctrine or ideology that calls upon the peoples of Western societies to embrace mass immigration and diversity as a universal good, or as an inevitable accompaniment of global economic integration.Globalism has Right and Left versions (hereafter called Right and Left globalism). Both argue that the nation state is losing—and ought to lose—effective sovereignty as its policy options become ever more constrained by pressures to harmonize economic and social programs. Right globalists seek to subordinate non-economic values, including national interests, to the values of the international market. The final goal, in their estimation, is an era of unprecedented and perpetual efficiency, as profitability, and economic growth. Left globalists seek to subordinate non-universalist values, including national interests, to internationalist "humanist" values. In the Marxist variant, globalization is seen as the logical culmination of the capitalist dynamic, which will usher in an age of international socialism where exploitation vanishes and wealthy regions (nations no longer) will be taxed to bring poor regions up to the world standard.The Economics of Right GlobalismIf globalization did not provide material benefits, Right globalism would have little impetus among the wealthy economies presently advancing it. Globalism is, after all, a movement of colourless economic and intellectual elites. By the nature of their creed, such would-be leaders are attractive mainly to that small constituency for whom globalization feels like an unambiguous triumph, and whose sense of security is still preserved within gated communities, as yet unimpeded by the rabble of the ever shrinking global village. Another constituency, at least in principle, is non-European minorities within European nation-states, who would benefit from the weakening of the European majority ethnic power caused by the nation state being subsumed within regional and global governments. However, the evidence for a significant minority impetus to globalism is poor compared to the capitalist and leftist impetus. If the integration of markets did not offer real economic benefits, globalism would be a rich man’s club entertained by intellectuals. But global trading routes have been developing for centuries because they generate wealth. International accords, part of the armamentarium of globalism that includes free trade zones and regional defense pacts, not only facilitate trade but reduce the spectre of war that so marred the twentieth century.[...]The modern Left opposes ethnic and racial discrimination (by majorities) even when this would advance core Leftist values such as equality. Left social philosophers such as Michael Walzer and Brian Barry will not countenance improving welfare rights by using immigration to reduce diversity. Democracy and popular sovereignty are other core Left values subordinated to anti-racism. It seems beyond the Left’s imagination to envisage their ideal polity leading via democratic process to the defense of ethnic interests. This despite a call by at least one leading left intellectual for the need to embrace Darwinism. So far has the Left drifted from its democratic rationalist roots, that it can barely accept the legitimacy of popular votes for politicians who would defend national autonomy.Read the full article at: eurocanadian.ca
