That reasoning is absurd. Obama talked about being "on the right side of history." Does that make him a Stalinist, just because Stalinists used that phrase 75 years earlier? I don't think so.

"Globalism" is a legitimate term used by proponents, critics, and neutral parties. It is not a dog whistle.
