The left was very much all anti globalization. Globalization was implemented by the likes of Thatcher and Reagan to save on salaries, the left was pro workers.
And now globalism is generally more good than bad, isolationism isn’t going to fix anything. Seems perfectly rational for left wing people to change their view when circumstances change.
More good than bad? Manufacturing jobs for people who don’t pursue higher education have disappeared from the first world leading to the slow death of the middle class, third world countries see their people becoming slaves that make products they’ll never be able to afford in order to feed the Western world all the things it wants without having to pay the labor required to make it, Africa can’t get out of the shit it’s in because its agriculture isn’t based on feeding itself…
Yeah, globalism is awesome if you’re an office worker with university level education and you like to buy shit.

Globalism is good for consumerism.
