I always understood globalist to mean the ruling class growing multinationals into monopolists while abusing poor countries for cheap labor and reducing the competitiveness of wealthy countries through destabilization efforts like illegal immigration to create a one world government at some point. I don't think it'd be much of stretch that removing globalists from the equation we'd still be stuck with China and India producing most of the tech we use because their cost of living is relatively cheap.

I hate the government and still have to pay taxes. You can't always put your money where your mouth is. You can also own an iPhone and still buy most of your other stuff locally to keep currency flows with borders.
