Kinda sucks that this artist (Red and Black Salamander) never grew past their 2018 Bernie left phase, I used to like their stuff.

I don't think I've ever seen tankies complain about "globalism" tho. The only people who talk about it is right-wingers who came up with the term and some dumbass neolibs who embraced it fow some reason

To understand R&B Salamander's brainworms one has to go back through their catalog and see their constant "tankie = MAGA" strawmanning and their liberal imperialist understanding of the ukraine conflict

I don’t think I’ve ever seen tankies complain about “globalism” tho.

To the neoliberal, "globalism" and "imperialism" are the same critique.

I don’t even understand the stereotype. “Globalists” is a right wing dogwhistle for “jews”. I’ve never heard leftists use the term derogatorily. If we wanna talk shit about western hegemony or NATO, we use those terms directly.

There actually used to be a coherent leftist stance against "globalization" in the 90s. Like lots of protest movements, but that was much more focused on opposing things like corporate personhood, NAFTA, international debt schemes, stuff like that. I remember being in leftist chatrooms in like 2003 and they were talking about "globalism" but they meant the IMF. Leftists now seem to prefer to talk about that stuff in a broader context of imperialism.

Anyone now though using the term in a derogatory way is a deranged conspiracy theorist talking about Jews or they want a fascist world of nationality based on race.

The Battle of Seattle. Do you all really have memories that short? Seattle burned over NAFTA. Jello Biafra had an album called "No to WTO" or something like that.

lots of trans anarchists out there with zero theory, sadly

Trans people are disproprotionately comrades compared to cis people, but there's still some real libs on trans twitter
