What do you mean by 'anti-globalism'? This is a pretty reactionary/petty bourgeois position to be honest.

The term 'globalism' seems exclusively used by petty bourgeois, reactionary nationalists that see globalism as a conspiracy by the marxist illuminati to undermine national sovereignty. Anti-globalism is to assert national sovereignty, and corresponds to petty bourgeois sensibilities. Alter-globalisation, on the other hand, is a recasting of internationalism.

Yes, the framing of a world community is such a bourg concept. However, I think its it's very valuable if you understand it as capitalism moving from its centers in the west, N America, w Europe, and Japan, to exploit lower wage employees in the developing world; or bring them in as immigrants. It allows you to analyze how capitalists use the extra surplus a variety of ways. Both that which is gotten from cheap labor, and from, in the US, real wages no longer rising alongside productivity.
