Because most people don't understand what globalization really means. Globalization is world peace.
But we're not there as long as hundreds of thousands of people are suffering for multiple lifetimes in North Korean prison camps. Odd universe, this one we live in.
- nazgulnarsil 17y agoglobalization as free trade is peace. globalization as cultural imperialism, central planning, and forced socialism/multiculturalism/democracy leads to extremely violent backlashes. many people in the third world experience the latter, not the former. free trade is not the US setting up an exploitative relationship with a third world country via offering incentives to that countries ruling class. free trade means there doesn't need to be any treaties, merchants in one country trade with merchants in another without interference, and both sides uphold basic property rights that allow business to flourish.
