It was created by the far left in the aftermath of the fall of communism in 89 and 90.<BR/><BR/>It has to be understood that Globalisation as a whole is politically complex, and at its beginnings had at least four roots (one of which - the far left's - can be understood only somewhat counter-intuitively).<BR/><BR/>First, obviously, it was and is an expression of the interests of "international dateline" corporations, and on this Lee does a generally nice job here. Perhaps he overlooks the political context. It is almost impossible for cash-dependent political parties to resist the demands of their paymasters. The solution is state funding of parties.<BR/><BR/>Second, it is the expression of our power elite's abiding interest in internationalism and the destruction of nation in the West - the latter being achieved in large part through the mass population transfer we know so very, very well.<BR/><BR/>Large corporation CEOs and senior officers are, of course, highly prominent in the more managerialist end of the elite structure.<BR/><BR/>Third, until 2001 Globalisation was a vehicle for American hegemonic interests. Clinton was the champion of the mainstream left interest in Globality, with Blair offering his hand in marriage just as he did to Bush after 9/11 (and for the same reasons of maintaining Britain's role on the international stage). This root withered and died.<BR/><BR/>Fourth, Globalisation was a vehicle for the post-soviet radical Trotskyist left to express its anti-capitalist leanings, and to press the case for global justice. This root is still alive but much weakened, and is mutating into "Alter-Globality".<BR/><BR/>Both the mainstream left and the radical left were attracted to Globalisation because it permitted them to maintain their faith in social justice and human progress. That NEVER withers, it seems.<BR/><BR/>I blogged on some of the history of leftist Globality here, two days ago:-<BR/><BR/>http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/no_global_age_only_a_globalised_greed/Guessedworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642216100948501067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-78160422786533911572008-05-17T18:27:00.000-07:002008-05-17T18:27:00.000-07:00Only by each of erecting our own barriers and orga...Only by each of erecting our own barriers and organising our own national resistance movements against the process of globalisation, can we each cease the progression of the disease.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested but I'd like you to expand on the above a bit. How high and for what are these barriers. <BR/><BR/>I've slowly become far more Nationalist over the last few years but the one area I'm still far from sure about is economics. I think you're right about consumerism overtaking capitalism. But, if capitalism is just another word for free trade and trade makes us richer how is it to be rescued from the death grip of the globalists? I enjoy reading Devil's Kitchen's blog. He's recently joined a newly formed Libertarian party. I'm drawn to their general philosophy of freedom and responsibility but not their approach to immigration. Their economic policy seems to be no holds barred free trade. If someone, anyone, in the world can make the goods you need cheaper than you then you (and the nation) become wealthier. They don't seem too concerned about peak oil and not at all concerned about AGW. The market and science will come to the rescue with some form of renewable energy. Instinctively it seems wrong to me if for no other reason than it means trading with communist dictatorships with appalling employee working conditions and subsequently low manufacturing costs, which makes a mockery of the idea of free trade. <BR/><BR/>At the moment I'm in Spain putting together the sales system for a product. The main markets are the UK and Spain but any system set up to service the two may as well do the whole of Europe. The best producer is in Sweden. The creator of the thing to be produced is English living in Spain. The area they live in is still essentially Spanish but with a mixture of mainly European and some Southern Americans. At the moment it's a great place to visit. If only multiculturism in the UK were like that it wouldn't seem so bad. None of the other cultures are making any demands on the host Spanish culture. At the same time Spain places more or less no restrictions on their visitors. It just leaves them to get on with things. The question I'm stumbling towards is how does my situation square with 'Eco-Nationalism'? I've decided to remain in the UK and fight the good fight. If I put this together I earn well and I don't mind Spain getting something. I like Spain despite their Socialist government. Every Swede I've met I've liked so I don't mind them earning something as well. Surely we English would want to trade with our fellow Europeans. Would we also want to trade with the Anglosphere where appropriate?<BR/><BR/>Mr Potter, I was drawn to Gnosticism after reading the book 'The Jesus Mysteries' by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.I'm particularly drawn to the Gnostic symbol of the wheel. In simple terms, the centre represents God, the mystery, and the spokes are all human life. The outer rim of the wheel is the world and where the spokes touch is where we interact with it. Freke and Gandy focus on the 'oneness' of all life. But what seems equally important about that symbol to me is that while we may in essence be all one but we are also each and every one of us unique individuals on the earthly plane. We may well be souls from the same source but I also have to face the fact that there are many of the Islamic faith in the world who would happily kill or subjugate me given half the chance. <BR/><BR/>A Christianity that embraced it's Gnostic roots could well prosper in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-1992132295053707492008-05-17T13:54:00.000-07:002008-05-17T13:54:00.000-07:00The simple answer to how we get the people to gras...The simple answer to how we get the people to grasp these matters is simple (in principle):<BR/><BR/>The message must be deconstructed to a set of simple definitions, causes, conseqences and solutions that the ordinary man and woman, student, business leader, academic, housewife, labourer and pensioner can take on board and then act upon.<BR/><BR/>This article establihes the blueprint for that by adoptinga synthesis of the problem and its solution.<BR/><BR/>It must be transmiteed via conventional and radical methods of communication.<BR/><BR/>DVDs are one method.<BR/><BR/>It should be done without the baggage of a political party.

Move over Zac, you've had your time and it's clear that there are others who can do the whole environmentalist movement a great service. Come on down Lee Barnes, you might think you are just a humble writer but Im not alone in recognising your potential for much greater things. You will be the inspiration for an intellectual revolution - the students of today are looking for a cause to champion and are 100% sick of party politics. This cause of eco-nationalism is the clincher. Its time the student generation had that 1968 feeling but this time directed at the destroyers of culture, those that would chop down the last mahogany tree in Brazil as equally as plow over the last English meadow to make way for another golf course or supermarket. <BR/><BR/>Save the planet - eco-nationalism is the answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-72849675876791778402008-05-17T07:41:00.000-07:002008-05-17T07:41:00.000-07:00Thats the solution, so tell me when are the people...Thats the solution, so tell me when are the people going to grasp it?<BR/>Your article is 100% Lee and it is so frustrating that the best the Government can do is add £5 - £10 on domestic flights.

Apart from defining it in a succinct and elegant manner that is also academically viable, it also defines what should be the true nationalist approach to the threat of globalism and why the Left has hijacked it.<BR/><BR/>It remains to be seen if nationalist parties are able to incorporate such insight into both their pprogrammes and in tactical efforts. That requires a visionary leadership that must transcend European boundaries, if not thwe world.<BR/><BR/>It also requires the public perception to wake up and see the fallacy of the Left's hijacking of the anti-globalist counter-culture.<BR/><BR/>One could posit the conpsiracy idea that the globalist enginneers have also hijacked the anti-globalist movement. Such manipulation is not the first time that powerful governments and organisations have done so.<BR/><BR/>At least it is conceivable that the globalist enginneers are encouraging the Left-dominated anti-globalist movements for their own ends, offering a safe alternative to the increasing disillionment of the world community.<BR/><BR/>Your next step from this excellent definition and synthesis is to attempt a radical spiritual synthesis of how and why the globalist movement is occurring.<BR/><BR/>But I would hope that intelligent and self-aware readers of your blog who are not so base and craven to beleive that they are only mere flesh without a spiritual identity, will perceive that your earlier articles on the gnostic understanding of the material universe and higher spiritual universes are actually in co-existence with this article. <BR/><BR/>Those with eyes to see will see with their soul.<BR/><BR/>Mr PotterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-46261517656024189502008-05-17T05:55:00.000-07:002008-05-17T05:55:00.000-07:00Interesting that today's 'Common Purpose' strategy...Interesting that today's 'Common Purpose' strategy is virtually Arnold Toynbee's strategy for abolition of nation states, which he espoused in the 1920s and 30s while he was the Chatham House Director of Studies.<BR/><BR/>He is also the ancestor of Polly.<BR/><BR/>Nation-wrecking is a family business.alanoreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013953165470026155noreply@blogger.com
