I think one is growing now, but it's in its infancy.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174941126414262194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-77314859080149796722017-01-31T18:29:19.894-05:002017-01-31T18:29:19.894-05:00The left traditionally supports internationalism r...The left traditionally supports internationalism rather than nationalism. Nationalism is a characteristically right-wing. The rabid right in the US want the US to withdraw from the UN and a bill was just introduced to do just that.<br /><br />The problem is trying to divide issues as left v. right in a hard and fast way. It's possible to do generally and ideally, but it's not always that way in practice. America stands out as a special case. The GOP and Democrats often reverse expected roles based on the general framework historically due to political exigencies and as well as paradoxes of differences in approach to social, political and economic domains.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-49588700520116821422017-01-31T17:32:54.856-05:002017-01-31T17:32:54.856-05:00Hey Tom.

What do you think of this video?<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lRFzPPqbx4<br /><br />Saw a comment in there that stood out to me that I'd like your take on too:<br /><br />"Hang on, isn't this exactly why people were pushing Bernie Sanders though and when we Hillary supporters told you that these tariffs on imports were terrible and that globalization was necessary - we got yelled at?<br /><br />Just like how the TPP was actually being designed to remove power from China's economic dominative output and allocate it to other Asiatic territories?"<br /><br />This is supposed to be coming from a left-winger, but here we go. They are in support of globalization.Penguin pophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438480665686684027noreply@blogger.com
