Too many left behind
« on: October 14, 2016, 10:02:04 AM »

Good article from Timothy Garton Ash though I suspect some will disagree with the conclusions. The problem with the idea that you can somehow step back from globalisation is that it isn't something that happens because of a big plan. It is inherent in the technological advances we have made in the last 200 years. Harking back to some mythical golden age is always a nonsense because you can only move forward.

It is a big plan, of the multi-national corporations and other global elite, not for the good of the people but for themselves. What is need is for the whole thing to come crashing down and that will eventually happen sooner or later when we all come to the realisation that the money fueling it doesn't actually exist.

if it comes crashing down then it will cause a lot of suffering for those you want to speak up for.

as to a big plan, undoubtedly the effects of technological change have been embraced by those who see them as beneficial but the affects are unavoidable, and the clock will not be turning back.
