I think the West Needs to go back to its roots and stop meddling in other peoples affairs, we should invest vast amounts on money in Non-Oil/Alt Fuel Technologies and let the Middle East sort its shit out by itself. We would also have a time-out on all Immigration to Western Countries…
What we are going to have is a Internationalized “Bourgeois/Capitalist” Elite (5% tops) an a small Middle Class, maybe 15% of the population, finally a large 80% of the rest will be poor. The only people that benefit from Globalization is the International Bourgeois Class and their 10%-15% control Middle Class Whores, everyone else gets screwed….
We need to go back to a level of Nationalized Economies, whereby yes their is international trade, but imports are taxed/tariffed so that money can be used to invest in out ports/airports and other infrastructure…
In the end the International Bourgeois Elite will fail (I think) turning us into all subservient slaves goes against human nature…I think increasingly people are seeing the downside of international trade and particularly FREE TRADE…Free Trade is not free as the common people get screwed – the only people that benefit are the well oiled International Bourgeois Class! The problem is like a alcoholic/druggy – these capitalist morons do not know where and when to stop…. They want more money and control, they think they are gods!
They will fail in the end, as everything this Rabid Capitalism/International Bourgeois Class stands for goes against human nature and decency. The only thing that works and will give our planet stability is Benevolent Leaders – that believe is a mix of Socialist and Free Enterprise (within a national framework)…I hope we see the end of Globalization within my lifetime!
Everything he says is true. I think we could unite a lot of people of the right, left and center around a project like this, but it would be hard to pull off because the left and now a lot of the center will not want to get off the immigration crack.
I call this the Salvadoran Model. During the Civil War, 2% of the population was extremely rich (the famous Fourteen Families owned almost all the land), 8% was a beaten down middle class and 90% were poor. Apparently this is the neoliberal model that the US and its allies are pushing.
