التحقق من صحة الجدل بشأن تفكيك العولمة

Jun 22, 2022 Andrés Velasco

لندن- ادعى الشاعر التشيلي، نيكانور بارا، أن "اليسار واليمين لن يُهزما أبدًا إن كانا متحدين". وتتجلى هذه النقطة في الجدل الحالي بشأن تفكك العولمة. إذ لم يرحب التقدميون المزعومون أبداً بالنمو السريع للتجارة العالمية. والآن، بمجرد حدوث انعكاس معين، تكون ردة فعلهم الصراخ بهذه العبارة: "لقد أخبرتك بذلك!" بينما، يصرخ المحافظون الداعمون للعولمة مع أقل الانتكاسات حدة بعبارة "السماء ستسقط!"، شأنهم في ذلك شأن الأشخاص الذين يتنبؤون بكارثة دون تقديم مبررات

إن كلا المعسكرين لهما مصلحة في المبالغة في مدى تفكك العولمة، لذا سيحظى حديثهما بشأن تراجعها بقبول واسع النطاق. فبعد الأزمات المالية المتكررة، وردود الفعل الوطنية، وجائحة كوفيد-19، والآن الحرب الروسية على أوكرانيا، أصبحت أيام العولمة معدودة.

إنه ادعاء ملفت للنظر. لكن هل هو صحيح؟

With this type of extreme in Iran, 2021:
"Anti-compulsory hijab protesters are harshly singled out for punishment. Saba Kord Afshari, a 22 year-old women’s rights defender, posted videos and photographs of herself in public without a headscarf , as part of the White Wednesdays - My Stealthy Freedom campaign. She was sentenced to 24 years in prison for encouraging people to commit immorality, colluding against national security and spreading propaganda against the system.

Of course, Saba is not alone. Her mother, Raheleh Ahwas was also jailed for protesting against the sentence handed down to her daughter. Another mother-activist duo is Yasamin Aryani who is only 24 but is serving 16 years for removing her headscarf. Her mother Monireh Arabshahi is also jailed for protesting compulsory hijab laws."

And the new type of extreme in the US 2022, courtesy of the Supreme Court, any human rights any where are most definitely ephemeral, and there's a whole lot of people who still think they have basic human rights. Women don't, and it's getting worse.

Just how does a slogan:"The left and the right united shall never be defeated" change anything?

The new globalization, the new de-globalization is exactly the same as the old globalization, and the old de/non-globalization which is labor performed under varying conditions by the gullible, as slaves.

RE:"And in an open and growing world economy, peddlers of deglobalization theories will find it easier to change jobs and re-skill."

Here's a contra-example:

Trevor apparently got into the game too late, and just didn't know how to maneuver the option plays with finesse to keep up with the real top players. Of course they've moved on, out and over already. The dominoes are scattering. What was. white is black. What is black was white. Zooming to the depths picking up deglobalized debt only creates real corrections real quick. The same guys keep passing the same bucks around because nothing really touches ground. It doesn't have to. The wanna-be oligarchs are getting duped before the rest of the real folks. Until something happens to affect the real oligarchs, everything is just maintenance of the same old sleight of hand routinely, routines. Who's got the best router to date?

Here's a real example with issues with real research:

It's pretty old. Stuff takes time to really happen.
