Globalization or Democracy: You Can Have Globalism or Democracy, But You Cannot Have Both

When we think of Globalization, the mind conjures a First World-led economic religion of free trade, international banking, and multilateralism that promised to end all wars. Unfortunately, an unelected globalist infrastructure driven by multinational interests promoted the outsourcing and dismantling of US manufacturing and jobs to the benefit, power, and profit of billionaires, multinational corporations, investment banks, And foreign interests. The drain was massive as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) re-wove globalism and capitalism into their own strategy for economic control and expansion. In addition, the West's own commitment to openness and free markets provided every opportunity for China's one-sided exploitation of the West. In the evolution of this struggle between Western ideals and CCP exploitation, we come to question the meaning of democracy, citizenship, and the lifeblood of our nation. Globalization or Democracy outlines the elements of our struggle and the stark alternatives that lie ahead.
