Talk:New totalitarianism

Really global economic monoculture is the most neutral term - the phenomenon is clearly global, explicitly economic, and actually advocates a monoculture of common trade rules and fairness embodied in such institutions as the IMF, WTO and World Bank. Whether globalization itself as an increase in scale or diversity is good or bad, whether economics is accurately measuring or even describing what's going on, or whether having such a single human-designed monoculture deciding the fate of ecosystems and peoples is desirable, is a matter for political debates. It might also be fair to call the United Nations Security Council a global political monoculture based on a lot of talk about moral and legal universals that all seem to fall down when they encounter a people that just wants to be left alone.

Certainly the GEM term is far less judgemental than New totalitarianism. The article is titled this really only because the only figure who clearly seems to understand both lines of argument, has chosen this term for it. That doesn't imply it should or must be Wikipedia's term.
