In right wing social media activity I often see statements like "the globalists will fail" or

Globalists are evil

These terms are often associated with global-trade, liberal free-trade and open international travel. Also there is a often protested or controversial conference in Switzerland "World Economic Forum", where rich and powerful people meet in Davos. It seems like the right opposes such internationalist conferences more than the left.

Do leftists oppose globalism?

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.
