Few people have been left untouched
by the global financial crisis. All across the globe, societies and
nations are undergoing unrest, civil disorder, protest, riots, and
even outright revolution (as evidenced by the Arab Spring). European
nations are in crisis, as the world financial markets collapse. There
is even talk of the complete collapse of the Euro currency and the
European Union as a whole. In some nations people are destitute in
the streets, as social services and infrastructure are slashed in
order to pay off a criminal banking cartel that created the entire
problem through derivatives markets and Ponzi schemes. Back in the
U.S., there is the Occupy movement that proclaim to be the 99% of the
general population, while the 1% are the top wealthy elites. Karl
Marx elaborated quite eloquently on the nature of class warfare, and
how capitalism, especially predatory/monopoly capitalism, would
eventually self-destruct. Capitalism by its very nature is
exploitative and destructive, reducing everything in the world to a
numerical monetary value (profit motive), including people
themselves! Indeed, a human is nothing more than a natural resource,
the same as oil, coal, gas, gold, diamonds, and to be exploited just
as ruthlessly. Class warfare has divided the world into the “haves”
and “have-nots.”
