Former United States president Bill Clinton himself admitted it--that we live in a world of extreme injustice. Most of the world's resources are being controlled by a silent few. Corporate greed has widened the chasm between the rich and the poor, such that the poor now dominate the world. And the silent few, those who control the levers of our society, remains apathetic to the suffering of the rest of the world.
Credit that to a system that allows greed to be replaced by more greed. Capitalism, supposedly the ideology that triumphed over Communism after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the nineties, have become a self-destructive ogre that eats up the resources of the world, and enslaves most of us. The nature itself of Capitalism means destruction.Imagine allowing thousands to exploit those virgin forests and lakes, and pristine rivers of the world, to extract those riches beneath and the living from their habitat, to be sold, in the name of Capitalism. In capitalism, every single thing is game. Even human beings are just commodities under this enslaving system.
Capitalism knows no limits--it is only the creativity of the world that limits its expansion. In the next few years, capitalist greed will overcome even the skies, and the exploitation of space is in the horizon. What will prevent capitalists from taking over the moon, or the nearest star or even the nearest galaxies? Greed knows no bounds.
Look--right now, everything has a price tag. The water we drink, the air we even breathe and the ground we tread on, has their price tags. Nary a soul moves without paying something.
It is time for us to break our chains and create a more environmentally sound system, a system which allows every soul to feel free, and which breaks the cycle of the Boom and Bust, of uncertainties and of unbridled Greed.
End Capitalism now and create a Socialist society that respects the rights of the individual for enterprise without forgetting the welfare of the Many.
