A definition of globalism by Aymeric Chauprade

[sen-no-sen]

A fascinating interview with Aymeric Chauprade(French writer, political scientist and geopolitician) on the definition of globalism and its historical origins:

It deals in particular with the differences between globalization and globalism, a confusion deliberately maintained by our media.

Far from finding its analyzes particularly relevant, I see them more as a fairly formal and institutional vision of globalization, largely disconnected from the purely economic aspect (and parasitized by its obsession with sovereignty).

For example, US imperialism is essentially economic, in my opinion; it is true that this often leads to armed interventions outside the territory, but it is more a consequence than a real desire ... (humor mode: the world is so mean, my poor sir!)
An ideology of growth indeed implies a lasting extractivism * (sic!) Which, sooner or later, arouses resistance on the side of the victims ...

Globalization is more of a headlong rush than a planned process.
When the limits of the globe are reached, there is an ebb, which is now being observed, directed against the very substance of the "central" nations, from which the movement originated.

* You will see that you will eventually become familiar with this key concept!

Globalization is more of a headlong rush than a planned process.

The desire to unite the world seems to me to be a planned process, nevertheless like many projects * the purpose has deviated somewhat from the original idea.
Starting (can be?) Of a good feeling this one is perverted by the alienation with the commodity.



* This is the case with the nation of Israel.

Considered a posteriori, the appearance of planning seems to emerge, however this process of globalization is easily and completely explained by the central necessity of capitalism which is the ever greater accumulation of value.

In other words, the growth inherent in our operating system leads to the need for ever more abundant raw materials, more "malleable" labor, ever more numerous consumers, which forces us to extend the sphere of economic influence ever further. , so that the exchange of goods is a universal rule and that all local autonomy is destroyed.

While Chauprade (rightly) carefully distinguishes the universalism of ideas from a politico-economic globalization *, it would be very interesting to examine the role of the universalism of the enlightenment as a factor favoring or allowing the development of the ideology of liberalism economic which leads to globalization.
This is what does eg. JC Michéa in quite interesting writings, even if his concept of "Tory anarchism" may, with good reason, leave you dreaming ...

* It is more the reverse: economic-political.

[sen-no-sen]

it would be very interesting to look at the role of the universalism of the lights as a factor favoring or allowing the development of the ideology of economic liberalism which leads to globalization.

Globalization and globalism are different concepts.
Globalization results from a fact, globalism from a doctrine.

Globalization is a fairly logical goal after all, a fortiori with the mastery of thermodynamics and NICTs.
The universalism of the light has seen the development of science and therefore facilitated this emergence, however it was not necessarily predestined for the establishment of global governance based on finance, so there were indeed instigators.

It remains to be seen whether the system is now "autonomous" (ie functioning without a human brain directly to the control), a matrix in a way!
