There are two kinds of globalists.

The first are the ideological globalists, intellectuals, social engineers, and activists who genuinely believe that humanity must transcend nations, borders, religions, and traditions.

These are the heirs of Marx and Engels, the apostles of “universal brotherhood,” who think the world can be restructured into a borderless commune.

The second kind are the pragmatic globalists who don’t care about ideology, but about centralization of power. They want structures that make governance easier, markets larger, and populations more manageable.

For them, “globalism” is not about brotherhood, it is about management of masses from above.

Ideological globalists welcome Islam because it presents itself as a champion of “the oppressed,” an anti-colonial force, a ready-made ally in dismantling Western identity. They see in Islam a fellow revolutionary creed against nationalism and tradition.

Pragmatic globalists accommodate Islam because it supplies them with populations that are easier to collectivize, more compliant with authority, and less anchored in individual rights.
