interesting way of putting it
i like the analogy to an atom in a stew of indocrination.
i think though that the people have been very willing accomplices in this.
1. you are right, the world was globalized mainly for the benefit of the corporations. when nike built its first factory in indonesia and paid workers $1 a day and sold the shoes for $150, the writing was on the wall.
other corporates followed or presished. competition pushed down prices.
greedy consumers lapped it up.
2. will it change, too late now, and remember labour governments under hawke and keating were pretty big on the tarrif reductions and globalization and multi culturalism.
so its no good just blaming the right.
3 the governments of the west especially have "brought" votes with rediculous "bribes" , middle class welfare, schemes to solve every problem and an inabaility to tell the people that for every winner, there must also be a loser. witness the carbon tax nonsense, pain without any pain equals no gain so just abstain
4 now world governments are basicly bankrupt after bailing out corporations which should have been allowed to fail, they will soon face one almighty credit crunch when they try to repeat the cycle of borrowing.
5 this is why the corporates are so powerful (even a crappy little one like qantas, can and will do what it wants.) and governments are powerless as they are borrowed to the hilt and at the mercy of the bond markets.
they have sold out the population, but this is a democracy and the population got the policies they deserved through their own consumer greediness. now they will have to pay the price. it should be interesting to see who is left standing but i would not be looking to fools and purveyors of half truths to save us. they(our leaders) are far more interested in their own skins.
