This article is more unintelligible than Jon Katz's ignorant rants about globalization on Slashdot. At least Katz paid attention to the feedback and got globalization right in his later essays. At first, he demonstrated the same conflation of globalization with "internationalism." Of course, as LBO subscribers know, globalization is a scheme by the wealthy to circumvent the usual checks and balances on their ability to make profits.
I have yet to hear one anti-globalization activist complain about the Internet, or any of these things that Hain is thinking about when he writes about globalization.
Is the other side this stupid, or are they deliberately confusing people.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
