Globalization is NOT about "the well-being of all", quite the contrary. It's about further concentrating wealth into even less hands. > Morally, if not in practice, the days of racism and nationalism are over. Don't confuse anti-globalism with racism or nationalism. It's about people having control over their own lives and societies. As long as there is no global "state" (and there never will be, at least in any manageable way), the nation-state (and its federalist sub-entities) is the only medium of self-determination. > Those who have personally benefited > from being white, Christian, colonialist and European or neo-European need > to look beyond that privilege Losing from globalization is not limited to these groups.
