Endgame - from "Some Assembly Required"

Ah yes, our "uber-capitalists", "Masters Of The Universe" -- the people who do not know when enough is enough, the good folks who seem to want a return to serfdom, to a feudal system run now by giant corporations, are beginning to privatize Europe - one little step at a time, one little bite at a time. The "Shock Doctrine" is healthy and at work in Ireland -- soon enough Spain, Portugal, Greece (except they tend to get "difficult"). Perhaps soon afterward -- Italy, France, Belgium ---- even Germany (even if they don't "need" it ---- they seem to like pain, austerity, etc. - if it is "framed" correctly). Why do I get the feeling that these monopolists will not stop until ALL the people rise up against them? Why does it seem they are too stupid to know when enough is enough. what sort of horrible war will we all have to go through to once again become citizens of a world where we are, once again, PEOPLE (IE: "human beings") instead of "Human Resources", "Human Capital", or (more simply) "wetware"?

This from "Some Assembly Required" - please follow link to original)


"Endgame: Ireland and Spain are moving into step two of the shock doctrine program, offering up airports, electrical systems, natural gas systems, and even national lotteries to the privatization gods."
