Internationalism
Internationalism is the value which determines how the ideologue views relations between itself and other nations.
Fascist Internationalism
Within Fascism, Internationalism is a political principle that advocates greater political or economic cooperation among states and nations, while retaining and preserving culture, ethnicity and/or economic separation. Pacts and treaties are viewed as positive as long as all parts benefit and such cooperation does not blur the line between their original forms. Internationalism, to a Fascist, is a deviation of Globalism, the opposite of a one-world government, a natural extension of Nationalism and Autarky applied with realism.
Fascist Internationalism is characterized by opposition to isolationism, support for international institutions and a cosmopolitan outlook that promotes and respects other cultures and customs, whilst closely guarding one's own.
Fascist internationalism affects national-level innovation and international scientific and economic interaction - an historical example of this is the Pact of Steel between Germany and Italy.
In a Fascist view, increased international cooperation is traditionally contrasted by the logic of restricting the exposure of national scientific excellence within the boundaries of a specific country, in order to gain commercial advantages within the international marketplace. According to this view a fully globalized innovation production regime would threaten domestic research and innovation with unfair competition and the creation of disincentives.
An example of applied Fascist Internationalism is the Fascist International Congress of 1934, directly opposed to the Communist International and spearheaded by Italy's PNF.
Capitalist Internationalism
Within Capitalism, Internationalism is a basic principle synonymous with Laissez Faire-style Free Market policies. It has developed, over time, into Globalism, which has almost fully eliminated national differences - as well as regional and local, these last two particularly prominently. It has also spun off theories, later disproven, such as the Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention.
A Transnational/Multinational Corporation copies its headquarters just like a virus and replicates the largely same business structure in each country. A Multinational Corporation (MNC) is distinguished from a Transnational Corporation (TNC) by its structure. There are more than 60.000 MNCs with over 600.000 foreign affiliates. World trade takes place between MNCs and their subsidiary branches and affiliated companies. A TNC, instead, is a business that has its headquarters in one country and operations (e.g., resource extraction, manufacturing) and branches in many countries. Monsanto and Sony Corporation are examples of TNCs.
MNCs and TNCs have a disproportionate influence in countries that seek their jobs and investment, leading to ever increasing concessions to them.
In response to such criticisms, many companies claim efforts towards corporate social responsibility.
Whether market-based incentives are enough to make companies act responsibly is still debated, however all current evidence - historical and economical - points to either the opposite or temporary small improvements.
For example, there are considered two firms as monopolists in their own market and isolated from competition by transportation costs and other tariff and non-tariff barriers. If these costs decrease, both are forced to competition, which will reduce their profits. The firms can maximize their joint income by a merger or acquisition which will lower the competition in the shared market. Due to the transformation of two separated companies into one MNE the pecuniary externalities are going to be internalized. However, this doesn't mean that there is an improvement for the society. In fact, the result to the locals is devastating.
Communist Internationalism
Communist Internationalism is better known as Globalism.
They would say that "the international solidarity of workers and toiling people of different nations and races, as expressed in psychology, ideology, and politics. Expressing the position and interests that the working classes of different countries have in common, communist internationalism guarantees the correct way of solving the national and international tasks of the working class, assures agreement between the class content and the national form of social development, and constitutes the chief prerequisite for realizing national interests."
But thats just propaganda. Just as Fascist internationalism is an extension of fascism, and Capitalist internatio alism is an extension of Capitalism, so Communist internatio alism is an extension of Communism. It is globalism.
Engels wrote: โSince the position of all workers of all countries is the same,โ wrote Engels, โsince their interests are the same, since they have one and the same enemy, their struggle must be a joint oneโ [1]
Marx wrote: โDisregard of that bond of brotherhood which ought to exist between the workmen of different countries, and incite them to stand firmly by each other in all their struggles for emancipation, will be chastised by the common discomfiture of their incoherent effortsโ [2]
Communist Internationalism first made itself apparent in the creation of the First International (1864โ76), which, as Lenin said, โlaid the foundation of an international organization of the workers for the preparation of their revolutionary attack on capitalโ [3]. The call for strengthening cooperation among the working classes of different countries in the struggle for their social emancipation was expressed in the slogan โWorkers of the world, unite!โ
This slogan, in many different languages was used in many different countries, to turn people against their own countrymen, and resulted in the World's War against Communism, which we all lost.
