The
Contradictions of Global
Capitalism
A global ‘free market’ that blocks the free market in labour (‘immigration’), obstructs the free market in commodities (from the developing world) and destroys local markets worldwide.
A global service industry turning ‘service’ into an exorbitantly priced or low-paid commodity. A global manufacturing industry that manufactures both overproduction and unemployment. A global legal industry that cannot prosecute the worst corporate crimes and war criminals. A global health and medical industry that is one of the largest causes of illness and death. A global gene-tech industry that seeks to turn human beings into products of their own technology. A global education industry that turns out culturally and spiritually deprived wage slaves. A global advertising industry that turns deep human values into brand values and slogans. A global ‘defence’ industry that fuels worldwide wars and props up tyrannical regimes. A global brand industry that relies on child labour and factory concentration camps. A global political industry that markets corporate and market-friendly politicians. A global media industry designed only to be an effective medium for advertising. A global energy industry that depletes and wastes the world’s energy resources. A global news industry that is self-censoring and disseminates misinformation. A global transport industry that clogs and pollutes highways, airways and oceans. A global finance industry that sacrifices social value to shareholder value. A global fishing industry that is depleting and destroying all oceanic life. A global alcohol industry that targets children and promotes alcoholism. A global internet industry that draws its main profits from pornography. A global food industry that manufactures both obesity and starvation. A global nuclear weapons industry that forbids newcomers. A global sex industry that traffics in women and children. A global prison industry that spawns crime.
