Plus, it's a very similar situation in the Uk and France and beyond. Who's challenging that? The UK taxpayers seemed to have forgotten what went on over the last couple of years and 'accepted' their lot...

It'll take some time for the inertia to be overcome, it's a big beast that's rising. But it has started. You see it all over. The current system is demolishing the buffer, the middle class, that has shielded the corporate takeover over the world.

Globalisation has exposed the weakness of the capitalist system as it has been practised since corporations started rising. The religion of maximising profits by all means was always an unsustainable concept. A tipping point was been reached IMHO, in 2008. I said then the paradigm will change, but it will take many years.

It's been a race to the top for a very few, and a race to the bottom for the rest. That is eminently unsustainable and will result in bloodshed on a massive scale if some logic doesn't somehow invade the shriveled minds of the few who have gathered the power.

The many have to suffer some more before things will change, but the die is cast.


There are many who shrug their shoulders and believe things will continue as before, pointing to a history of divide and conquer. They are fools, part of the shriveled minds elite, or those still hanging on to the remnants of what used to be the middle class. They have no inkling of the feelings at the bottom. Sure, the feelings have always been there, and nothing happened. But there are two crucial differences between now and in the past. The middle class buffer is disappearing, and communication is rendering the divide and conquer strategy useless.
