Neoliberalism: crime and disaster.


Neoliberalism, the lack of color of money, lack of accountability to the actions and lack of limits on the concentration of power, which makes large criminal organizations businesses, large corporations in criminal organizations and the economy as the inability to distinguish between them.

I wanted to do a post down to one sentence, a meme that can drive the debate and reflection. I think the best criticism is one that is based on solid arguments , but I did not want to dwell able to accommodate more serious news of the consequences of our economic model. Hard to understand why we do not react. The planet is on the verge of collapse and a point of no return. It is a disaster movie, it is real suffering. Neoliberalism is not the only culprit of the disaster, but the major obstacle to avoid.

Neoliberalism: This scam pyramid whose most famous expression "privatize profits and socialize losses" meant "thin democratic states" and determine the degree of freedom of the people in a unique way to status economic. The only place where neo-liberalism shows a degree of ingenuity is in the development of euphemisms. The first scam of neoliberalism in the myth of the self, because to say that an economic model based on continued growth in a closed system is self-regulated, is like saying that a plague of locusts is self-regulated while suffering a population explosion.

The lack of color of money: narco, arms trade, speculation on food prices, human trafficking, corruption , tax havens ... Any result of "private" inside and outside government. Money is money, and no control over how to get back to being ruled by criminals.

The lack of accountability to the actions: witnessing a phenomenon that is not new in history: the freedom-responsibility relationship is dissociated into an economic model where freedom is subject to the possession of wealth . But far from requiring greater accountability of who has greater capacity for action, the values \u200b\u200bare reversed and requiring greater responsibility to those who have lesser degrees of freedom. Guard down to relying on a new totalitarianism.

The absence of limits on the concentration of power: The deregulation of markets, neoliberal globalization process has led to the worsening economic and social inequalities. The illusion of progress achieved by dint of externalities, the pillaging and degradation of all the commons of the Earth shows its most alarming consequences in the tragedy of the global ecosystem to which we belong. While climate debts remain unpaid, the damage of financial speculation on world population fall.

The greatest of all crimes:
Because they knew. They knew that the collapse could be avoided and concealed the gravity of the situation. Nothing in the history of mankind is comparable to that :

Emissions of CO2 and methane from Arctic permafrost has already begun and will be net in the year 2020. The process is irreversible.

is just the beginning of a chain reaction. The road to point of no return . There seems no coincidence that this kind of news to pass on tiptoe, almost as an eccentricity in the media. And yet cover should be continuous.
Perhaps the most shameful and despicable externality of capitalism is one that places the burden on the future, our descendants, the task of repairing the irreparable or simply perish.
