Our Corporate World

IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SUGGESTED that the best form of government is a benevolent dictatorship, the key word being "benevolent". A global corporate culture is growing, independent of any national government, subject to no national or international oversight. This "corporate complex" could become the most powerful governing force on the planet during this century, if it hasn't already done so. Whatever economic agreements are made in the future between nations, decisions concerning the International Monetary Fund, and trade agreements, may well be determined by the emerging international cartel. Where does this leave this rest of us, the nearly seven billion workers of the world? How large and how prosperous will the middle and working classes be in a world of huge corporations in control? If its any indication, corporate culture does not tend to be very middle class. A few people at the very top, and a great number of people at the bottom of the pyramid. Corporations are not compassionate organizations by nature. Their only purpose is to make a profit. When laobr and ownership do not share a common interest, labor is exploited. The solution to this is ownership by the workers. There is a great deal of evidence to indicate that the common people of the world do not want to live in a future world dominated by corporations, unless those corporations encourage human equality, not elitism. Every year the World Trade Organization has a meeting somewhere in the wrold. The WTO is nothing other than the international corporate cartel, organizing itself, setting its strategy for future global corporate domination. Every time it meets, a massive protest of workers takes place nearby, in an attempt to enlighten the world to its impending corporate domination. The eventual war between the rich and the poor may be international.
