Marxist-Leninists are internationalists, as in supporting the international movement against imperialism and for socialism globally. The idea of free-trade, and dominance of imperialist finance capital, WEF, etc. is right-wing, and leftists oppose this.
"Globalism" is usually a dogwhistle for racist views.
Marxist-Leninists are internationalists. But the Soviet union was pretty isolated at the end of the cold war wasn't it? And the wall fell, which lead to more movement between borders?
The USSR was only isolated from the imperial core states, not from other socialist nor non-alligned states. The imperial core, in its hubris, often calls itself the “international community,” but they’ve always been a minority in terms of population, land, and natural resouces.
Being an internationalist in the context of Marxism-Leninism means supporting movements undermining imperialism, which the WEF is a part of perpetuating. It isn't about isolationism, and further much of that was driven by western sanctions.
Is the European union viewed as an internationalist & globalist project by Marxists or is is it labeled as something else?
Imperialist. It's international, but is an alliance of imperialist states that plunder internationally. Internationalism in a progressive manner requires undermining imperialism.
