“I had not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”(Edison) And globalism is most certainly the only way that will work to bring the global enrichment of every country, every group, and every individual.(tricolon) Globalism, at its most basic level, is a belief in the supremacy of the “collective” over individual.

Toward the end of 19th century, I read a book by the most magnificent ideologist Thomas Paine, which still is today, called “The Age of Reasoning,” a book which completely changed my view of the world.
