There are benefits in globalization. There are big problems with inequality.
Do not conflate one with the other: globalization is unstoppable, because technology is unstoppable. The whole world must slowly converge to a uniform (richer) standard of living.
But that will help few people if we allow those riches to be concentrated in very few hands.
Fighting globalization is fighting the wrong enemy: if you (by some miraculous change) are able to remove your country from the globalized world, your country would become poorer. And there is no guarantee that the wealth will be better distributed: the early eighteen centuries economies were not globalized and inequality was a big issue too (bringing about the theory of communism, for example)
Globalization does not require inequality. Non globalization does not guarantee shared wealth.
We need to fight for globalization and wealth distribution, which is what will guarantee the best standard of living for the whole population.
