Notes

1 Then as now, the term was more frequently used to refer to political adversaries than as a label of self-identification. Indeed, during World War II everyone from Adolf Hitler to Henry Wallace were thus accused of globalism, the former for seeking a globe-spanning German Reich through conquest and the latter for wanting to open US airports to international flights free of charge after the war (Zimmer 2018).
