Yes it did. Only leftists are responsive to the words Socialist and Workers Party. Ever.
See Bureaucat's reply above. But no, your response still had nothing to do with what I said. I said:

That has nothing to do with being responsive to the words socialist or worker's party. You pretty much made up a response that had nothing to do with what you were responding to.

Trade with other cities, counties or states would be discouraged, and support of local businesses and institutions would be the end-all and be-all of all policy making.
Interestingly, this is precisely what many liberals (particularly of the eco/green persuasion) espouse. So they are even more pure in their anti-globalism than you.
In fact, we can take it a step further: The most local and anti-global entity is ... the individual. We can espouse a philosophy called "individualism" in which the needs, wants and rights of the individual take precedence over the needs, wants and rights of any entity larger than an individual (perhaps even the family).
It's too bad nationalists don't like individualism, either.
In the spectrum from globalism all the way down to individualism, nationalism is really just kind of in the middle, and there's nothing really special about it. If you truly wanted to be an anti-globalist, you would be an individualist.

Nationalists are all about individualism, unlike the ghoulish progressive left which everybody knows demands overarching borderless tyranny conducted by a globalist superstate.
Except that I just pointed out to you that many leftists are localists.
Then they can localize their restrictions on guns and 'carbon,' and they can impose their health care neuroses locally. Which they won't, because of all their global demands on their neighbors that they conform to their leftist anxieties.
