Maximum
possible equality on the base - chaotic inequality in total and the
extinction of middle class
by system
failure
The "shiny
bosses" of the recent economic forum in Davos, have set as
maximum priority the problem of inequality. They have been accused
for hypocrisy by many people, but the truth is that their concern
about global inequality is not hypocritical. Indeed, economic elites
worry about the phenomenon of inequality, but this is a specific type
of inequality and they have their own reasons, of course, to worry
about.
The global
economic elite concerns about the kind of inequality which has to do
with the quite significant (for the moment) inequality between the
Western incomes and those of the developing economies, which causes
huge profit losses for the banks and the big multinational
corporations. On the one hand we have the high salaries in the West
while on the other, the loss of huge consumer tanks mainly in Asia,
who do not have the economic power to buy mass consumption products.
The
middle class extinction
The
multi-level middle class which was built on the over-consumption and
in many cases on the bubble economy, is a model that the global
economic elite now thinks that no longer serves its interests and
therefore must be reconsidered.
The Greek
experiment has shown that, the multi-level structure of middle class
has been exploited by the economic oligarchy, in order to break this
class, by turning one social group against another through social
automatism on the basis of conflicting - mostly economic, but also
ideological in many cases – interests.
Through this
way, the economic oligarchy managed to disorientate a big part of the
society, hiding its own huge responsibilities concerning the economic
crisis in Greece, preventing a mass dynamic reaction and, proceeding
fast to the next phase of the plan, which is, the destruction of the
biggest part of the middle class.
The
consumption-saturated and aging West, cannot longer contribute to the
rise of profits of the global economic elite and therefore, through
the economic crisis, the middle class is systematically eliminated so
that its consuming power to be "aligned" with that of the
majority of the huge populations of developing countries.
Change of
model in favor of the big capital
The target
of the middle class extinction in the West is to restrict the level
of wages in developing economies and prevent current model to be
expanded in those countries. The global economic elite is aiming now
to create a more simple model which will be consisted basically of
three main levels.
The 1%
holding the biggest part of the global wealth, will lie, as always,
at the top of the pyramid. In the current phase, frequent and
successive economic crises, not only assist on the destruction of
social state and uncontrolled massive privatizations, but also, on
the elimination of the big competitors.
In the
middle of the pyramid, a restructured class will serve and secure the
domination of the top. Corporate executives, big journalists,
scientific elites, suppression forces. It is characteristic that
academic research is directed on the basis of the profits of big
corporations. Funding is directed increasingly to practical
applications in areas that can bring huge profits, like for example,
the higher automatization of production and therefore, the profit
increase through the restriction of jobs.
The base of
the pyramid will be consisted by the majority of workers in global
level, with restricted wages, zero labor rights, and nearly zero
opportunities for activities other than consumption.
Suppression
through maximum possible uniformity on the base
Maximum
possible uniformity on the base, secures an additional, peculiar
suppression. Adjusting wages in levels where people will be able only
to survive in order to consume, the fact that the Western cultural
totalitarianism, which is exclusively defined by economic terms is
expanded everywhere, as well as the fact that, the privatization of
higher education will exclude the majority from this right, are
factors that will contribute to the complete dominance of the new
model.
These new
conditions will automatically dictate a kind of suppression since the
vast majority will not have the means, the will and the intellectual
ability to dispute the new model. The destruction of the multi-level
middle class, nearly eliminates the probability of the birth of
resistance forces which could probably fight against, and beat the
dominant system.
The modified
westernization of societies in this phase, is something which the
global economic elite seeks. The lack of Vision of Western man
spreads like a disease. Therefore, the search for a different model
based on different principles becomes more and more difficult, as
well as, the resistance against this cultural totalitarianism.
The basic
argument by the mouthpieces that serve the global economic oligarchy
- in order to promote the preferable model as the only solution - is
the lack of competitiveness and the fact that people in developing
countries have the right to a better life.
The reality,
however, is different because the future prepared for these people,
is actually a nightmare. It is about a global society where the most
people will live to consume inside an authoritarian environment of
suppression which will be imposed, not by a visible regime, but by
private armies serving the invisible markets, and by a timid humanity
which will learn to self-restricted in order to serve the interests
of a global oligarchy.
However, the
most horrific thing of all will be the expansion of the lower social
level, consisted by millions of people all over the planet, which
will be left without any kind of help, dying in extreme poverty,
since the global economic elite will secure its domination through
the oversupply of labor force and consumers.
Unfortunately,
already, the human life increasingly lose value...

ReplyDeleteThis is the cycle throughout history. This is not the first civilization that was, or will be destroyed by greed. Hording of everyone s resources by the few, is tantamount to the wealthy climbing out on the limb and cutting it. Before the fall, hyper-inflation will wipe out their wealth, unfortunately, because we allowed it, it will wipe us out as well.
ReplyDeleteComplete and utter nonsense
ReplyDeleteAh .... Reagan's " Trickle down Theory " has taken thirty-five years to come to fruition , along with the destruction and enslavement of the 99.9 percent of the American populace ! Should we also consider Reagan's policy of " Borrow and Spend " economic policy ? The very policy that has buried the younger generations in crushing DEBT , that will take generations to pay off ... if ever ! Yea , I was one of those that believed Reagan's B.S. and voted twice for the man !
