The real challenge to globalism comes for Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot. Their major emphasis is on job loss, economic insecurity, attacks on unpatriotic globalism, and immigration. Buchanan not only brings along social conservatives based on his well deserved reputation, but also his ability to tie questions of violence, drugs and social decay to the loss of our industrial job base. The rise of national right-wing populism can also be seen in Europe with LePen in France, Jorg Haider in Austria, and the development of youth based racist movements in Germany and England. There still exist a number of important secondary contradictions.
Competitive tensions define the relationship between the globalist.
But this competition isn't based on national blocs, but rather huge world alliances and cross relationships which shift and merge. There are also policy differences over how best to build and stabilize the new world system as referred to above. But none of these is likely to lead to wars of the old imperialist type. In fact, most recent military invasions have not been about imperialist plunder and markets, but maintaining a stable world environment for accumulation. Lastly we need to look briefly at the relationship between nationally based business' and the transnationals.
