Is globalization inevitable?

Is globalization inevitable?

yes, now that the world is as small as it is.

with a trip from New York to London brought from a 1 month journey to a 7 hour flight, the speed of communication and travel is naturally going to make globalization a profitable choice in nearly any situation, while remaining isolated in this day in age is nothing short of self-destructive for a nation as most of the world depends on trade and commerce to keep the economy rolling.

globalization is just the end result of lassie fair capitalism

This is why national socialism is needed

a bigger structure only makes it more fragile

This, but yes.

thank you for Correcting The Record

but yeah no thanks

Yes, humanity has been slowly forming larger and larger groups for 200,000 years. From families, to tribes, to villages, to towns, to cities, to countries, to empires. We're constantly getting together.

Globalization is a buzzword, a vast majority of economic activity is local

economic globalization ? yes

cultural globalization ? lol no that's literally just communism in diguise

This

It's more like a few select cities are globalized and the vast majority of the rest gets shitted on and left to clean it up.

>cultural globalization ? lol no that's literally just communism in diguise
Can you expand on this? I don't get how you came to this conclusion.

Yes.

But why is globalization bad?

Which globalization?

It's how conquest was reivented in a world with nuclear weapons preventing open armed conflict between national states.

Wasn't the end goal of the Leninist revolution the creation of a single global proletarian state, abolishing national borders and bla bla bla?

Certain leninism, sure, but I'm no expert.
Again though, I'm wondering why you think that cultural globalization (a dubious term in itself) is the same thing

Abolishing national borders, making a single state, where everyone is equal, kinda ends up with cultural globalism (as in, 1 globe 1 culture)
Although I'd agree it doesn't really have to

I don't think that's necessarily what cultural globalism implies though. It's hard to impose a single culture, especially on a global scale. Culture just doesn't really work that way.
When I think of cultural globalization, I think much more about information transmission and hybridization rather than homogeneity, mostly because I don't think global homogenization is possible.

Is there any actual evidence of cultural homogenization that isn't just capitalism at work?

Its a certain global kind of culture, like internet culture but many arts and cultural activites require personal interactions or group interactions in real life, which is why geographical distance still restricts cultural spread. Also geography molds our experiences and different geographic zones have created different cultural inspirations one way or another, this cant and wont suddenly stop.
Global culture is simply another layer of culture.

>Which globalization?
Ideally this one, in reality corruption and delusion will continue to dominate.

>reinvented
Countries have always tried to influence each other politically simply because it is much cheaper to do so than engage in all out warfare. The changes since the 60s are largely due to the majority of the population no longer being desperately poor and having exposure to mass media, TV and film is tightly controlled, but not magazines, newspapers, literature and recently the internet.

It will happen, and then fall the fuck apart as people and governments change. Were starting the first total globalization cycle (from the old semi globilization cycle with rome and china)

In a manner of speaking, the negative effects of it can be fought by state policies, but they usually never are however since it is considered a form of unnecessary interference.

Depends on what you mean by globalization exactly but in a general sense it is effectively inevitable given how many intrinsic factors will favor globalism. Doesn't mean their can't be a watershed moment of opposition and reversal.

current globalisation is global westernisatin captalism

other forms of glbalisation include:
global communism
izlamism
global christianity
global anarchism

non are inevitable and are forced thru imperialism

Many hypothesize that globalization will lead to regionalization, and from there it will stop.

Implying that isn't referring to Organised Christianity.

Yep.

Has it not already happened?

Where are their yarmulkes?

And?

Who knows. It all depends on what the majority of those in power decides is righteous.

Ending the second globalization cycle*

Depends on your definition.

Depends on your definition.

To a degree yes.
However, its very dangerous because every place in the world could end up like america with a multicultural view of fast food chains owned by corporations. You go to germany under a globalized planet you'll still feel like your in america. I'm more concerned about the preservation of the diffrent cultures throughout the world and making sure that we don't all fall under 1 government.

Sure world peace would be nice but it might be near impossible since people will always have diffrent points of views of the world.

America is a miniature view of what the world will look like globalized.
There are perks, but there are cons.
