| Corporate anarchy is what we should fear the most. |
Interestingly, though,
and even more confusingly, it is the preferred mode of operation by those same
people.
They abhor control, unless they have it, and see the freedom
afforded by anarchy as an avenue to the erosion of corporate profits and growth.
They seek freedom from
government and societal control and yet take a contradictory position in
pushing whatever buttons they can to ensure that society is obedient to the
ambitions of the corporate world.
It is the anarchy of big business that has shaped the
thinking of the world’s populace, turning us all into consumers and so
manufacturing behaviours that have that have disrupted the world’s climate
system to such an extent that are now
manifesting itself in ways that threaten humanity.
The control that the money men have so long feared, and have
suppressed at every turn, now stands as
our last and only resort to avoid humanity’s possible collapse.
Until humanity can reach an understanding that its wants and
desires must be quelled and it must embrace a broad-based control mechanism, particularly the stifling of the profit and
growth mandate of the world’s corporations, then climate change will continue unabated.
The privatization of public assets
is anarchy gone mad – a public asset that was once just that, public, controlled
and there to serve the people, but in being privatized has become an anarchical
process, in that its only master is profit; profit arrived at the expense of
people and, of course, the externality that is the world’s environment.
The modern corporate
consumerist world inculcates individualism and success measured by accumulation
and derides those who see value in, and work to build stronger communities that
are about sharing, collaboration, social inclusion, and the strengthening of
every public process, including education, health, accommodation and transport.
The privately owned car is anarchical
and the antithesis of how we need to behave in a world facing unrelenting
difficulties evolving from climate
change; the extraction and burning of Earth’s fossil fuels to create energy and
a profit orientated consumerist ideology.
Corporate anarchy must end
and control, without being authoritarian, must replace it.
