It seems to me that all this nay-saying about globalization is stupid and what's more, counter-productive. If I'm not mistaken, we aim to lead the working class to emancipation. Well, in third world countries, the working class does not exist, or at least did not exist before the rise of globalization. So, by exporting manufacturing jobs to foreign countries, the Western bourgeoisie is simply creating a working class in all those countries. If I'm not mistaken, they are creating the tool of their own demise, just like they created the tool of their demise during the industrial revolution.
The major argument against globalization is that it fills the pockets of the rich. Well, so did the industrial revolution and i don't see anyone opposing that. The fact is that we need a working class and what is more, it needs to be an international working class. By opposing globalization, we oppose the growth of the class we aim to bring to dominance therefore, we oppose our own goals by denying the proletariet of it's numerical superiority.
