It depends entirely on what you mean by 'cosmopolitanism.' Perhaps you mean it as (to quote Wikipedia) "the ideology that all human ethnic groups belong to a single community based on a shared morality," or perhaps you mean (again quoting Wikipedia) "a shared economic relationship, or a political structure that encompasses different nations," or perhaps (quoting the Free Dictionary) "[h]aving constituent elements from all over the world or from many different parts of the world," or even (the Free Dictionary again) "the tolerance of or sympathy for noncommunist ideas and institutions, used as a charge against Soviet intellectuals," or (same again) "the opinions and behavior emerging from the theory that cultural and artistic activities should have neither national nor parochial boundaries." I'm sure different things could be said of each.

Is it something bad?It's essental for Marxist revolutionaries. One of the problems with many groups is that they are extremely provincial. "The workers have no fatherland," is written in the Communist Manifesto.

By the way, Stalin attacked "rootless cosmopolitans," by which the Father of Nations meant mostly Jews.
