Even 'leftists' that support getting rid of nation states are not so naive to believe allowing transnational corporations to make all the rules will be really, really good for the proletariat.
Can you argue for or against something without complete misrepresentation of your perceived opponents?

now all 'leftists' must support globalism, because you know, getting rid of nation states will allow transnational corporations to make all the rules, and that is going to be really, really good for the proletariat.
That's where a vast swathe of the US left seems to be at at the moment - they'd joyously throw open the borders just to spite Trump, and they'd think they'd won a great victory by doing so.
just speak more clearly in the first place instead of spewing nonsense in an effort to make your point.

Do you have any specific thoughts about DACA? Like, what's YOUR position re: immigration and related issues?

I don't think there is any need to retrospectively make hitherto legal people illegal, but more broadly, I wouldn't begrudge nations the right to deny citizenship to locally born children of non-citizens. In fact I'd half expect it. DACA is a problem that occurs when the real problems have been left unaddressed for decade after decade.
