One of the things thar disturbs me about Heinz Watties announcement that they were closing down their vegetable and food processing plants in Dunedin, Christchurch and Auckland is how a large foreign corporate took over the company and is slowly destroying it. Over some years now they have stopped using locally grown produce and substituted imported products e.g. asparagus, tomatoes and corn, from much cheaper source countries like Peru and Thailand. Local farmers lose contracts. #Aotearoa becomes more dependent on imported food in place of more secure home grown food. So Heinz is increasing our food security risk. That should be a concern for every Kiwi. Something similar occured with Mondelez. Huge global corporations like these are like vultures stripping everything down to the bone. #foodsecurity #globalisation #corporations #risk

La vision prophétique de Nietzsche face à l’industrialisation et la globalisation

Nietzsche, philosophe du 19e siècle, a anticipé avec toute sa clairvoyance les enjeux de l’industrialisation globale : uniformisation des individus, déshumanisation économique, montée d’une administration mondiale. Son diagnostic reste aujourd’hui d’une étonnante actualité. #Nietzsche #industrialisation #globalisation #philosophie

@adamtooze makes the important point that globalisation is essentially a Eurasian story (with some stats to underline that observation), and so globalisation as a global political economic phenomenon is only over when Eurasia modifies its behaviour.

The end of globalisation isn't something that is driven by the Tangerine Tyrant's (and US) economic policies.... rather, the pivot away from the US may see just globalisation continue minus the US!

OMG! A wild ride… “Based off the newest tranche of emails and texts released by the Justice Department this weekend, Epstein, at the very least, believed that he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order in the 2010s. In June 2016, he emailed venture capitalist, early Facebook investor, and Palantir founder Peter Thiel, writing, “Brexit, just the beginning.” He then laid out the most succinct mission statement we currently have for what Epstein was trying to accomplish. “Return to tribalism,” he wrote. “Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.” 😮

Read that again: “Epstein… believed… he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order”.😐

Been wondering ever since I read that terse email “Brexit, just the beginning” implying that #Epstein & #Thiel think they caused it. Now this rationale. ☝️

Can this really be so? Or is this #billionaires delusion? How could we know, how could we test for the truth of this hypothesis?🤔

Economic Justice simply put is an environment where #prices are chasing #wages. This requires a regulated economy, that is to say the end of unfettered #capitalism and #globalisation which only serve to increase social #inequity.

What #neoliberalism gives us is a case of wages chasing prices where society as a whole suffers increasing financial inequity. The rich get richer at the expense of what is fast becoming slave labour.

Therefore #EatTheRich and resist #Fascism if you want your #kids to have the #Freedom to live a better life than you. If you are serious about the future of your kids you will never vote #conservative (who intend to keep things going as they are) or any political party on the right or far right of progressive policies (They are simply fascists who mean to subjugate all of us into slavery while raining bombs and death upon us)

This is the evidence upon which your kids will judge you. Because, mark my words, #TheyWillJudgeYou.

If you do not vote for more #progressive political and economic outcomes, you are condemning your kids to #slavery. Simple as that. Think on it… for their sakes.
