The Global Disease

Capitalism is a malignant disease. It has transformed society, using
existing human institutions to create a world where money is the only
thing that matters.

The vector that spread it worldwide was an economic theory called
neoliberalism. This theory placed the market above government and
human need. It used bought-and-paid-for academics and politicians to
implement its global spread and used debt to force open underdeveloped
nations to the parasitic workings of the global financial system. It
also used those same politicians to forge rules that guaranteed that
the vast bulk of global profits went to a tiny number of global
capitalist elites.

The only way to undo the ongoing damage is to pass a Constitutional
amendment that affirms corporations are not people and legitimizes
limiting campaign contributions to avoid the current system of
rule-by-dollars destroying our democracy.

Once that is in place we can finally think of a new system, built on
real human needs.
