Is it even possible to achieve both those goals at the same time? Globalism is more than mere economic integration, and nations with strong identities and borders can and do trade with each-other just fine. But without nations (or if they are reduced to meaninglessness, e.g. "everyone can be American"), what will oppose globalism?
It's like being against umbrellas and also against getting wet in the rain.

That's assuming they care more about economic socialism than dissolving nations. Looking at how they spend their political capital, I don't think that assumption holds.
