Thatcherism was a global phase of capitalism disguised as nationalism

Evidence

The contradiction here is that capitalism, even as it spread remorselessly over the world to unite human society into one more or less connected story for the first time, also engendered a perilous and convulsive new fragmentation of that society. The socio-historical cost of this rapid implantation of capitalism into world society was “nationalism.” — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 370 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
