    I agree with your thinking, I've thought this for a long time. It should not be anti-globalism, it should be alternative globalism. As you said, globalism is an inevitable result of technological advance and it is delusional to hope society is going to embrace some form of ludditism. What is needed is to develop an alternative to end goals of liberalism and communism.

    My personal opinion is that perennialism may provide the ideological packing of a neo-3rd position which would believe that all traditions have elements of truth in them (due to the vague similarity of even distant religious beliefs) for the universal truth (not in a religious sense, but more of a secular "This is how things should be" sense). A sort of "intersectional traditionalism", based on mutual respect of traditions as the best way to uphold their respective social orders. The only issue is that I believe this would need to be theorised in a manner that is not just reactionary to liberalism or communism. (This is just my limited thoughts on the topic)

      I know you said that you haven't developed much ideas about this but I'd be interested to hear some more of your thoughts on this in-depth if you have any. The "alt-right"/Third Positionists definitely need to go in this direction and move away from tired and outdated interwar rhetoric.
