A globalist is someone, usually a politician or corporate executive, who thinks that national borders shouldn't matter, and that people, capital, and goods must flow freely over them. It's often used pejoratively (no one calls themselves globalist). For example, Euroskeptics call almost anyone in the EU government globalist.

This is a capitalist's pan-utopian dream: people, capital, and goods flowing freely over borders. Almost as if nations didn't exist!
What about taxes and the [re]distribution of benefits? [sound of rusty monkey wrench entering complex gear mechanism].
I'm not convinced of any arguments against 'globalism' per se, but I think you are using two different notions; globalism vs internationalism.

Yeah the whole "globalist" thing is stupid to me. There are better ways to articulate the position that don't originate from conspiracy theorists.
