A spectre is haunting the World: the spectre of capitalism.

Nation-states
give up their sovereignty at the same time that transnational free
trade agreements invent a world-corporate-state whose laws are the laws
of capital. Laws made to measure of large corporations to protect their
unrighteousness.
Where individuals are subjected to the slavery of consumerism and life itself is a commodity to be traded. Where the commons goods stop being universal to become exclusive to a few.
A world-corporate-state inhabited by millions of dehumanized beings, each in their individual role of producer-consumer, in a virtual society of individuals isolated by technology, overcrowded in mega-cities whose residents compete between misery and scarcity.
A world-corporate-state ruled by a capitalist oligarchy that de facto constitutes the unique class that prevails throughout recent history as a result of the split of the other classes.
Without antagonism there is no progress, and without progress there is no future.
Inhabitants of the world, return to being humans and unite! There is a whole world to win.
