NEOLIBERAL GLOBALIZATION (Capital without restraint) YIELDS PROFIT OVER STABILITY & MOBILITY FOR MONEY, NOT PEOPLE*
Globalization in its current phase is a form of the ancient Anunnaki ideology of domination consciousness, characterized by international capitalism.
Capitalism is an economic system characterized by:
1) Private or corporate ownership of capital goods,
2) Investments by private decisions, prices, production, and the distribution of goods are determined mainly by competition in ostensibly free markets,
3) Capitalism rewards those who control resources and take a share of them, with rewards that inevitably flow unequally to those who own them rather than to those who contribute only their labor.
Neoliberal globalization removes constraints on capital while destabilizing everything else.
Capital flows freely; people do not.
Chris Harman writes, “Industries collapse in one place and erupt in another. Stability dissolves. Globalization means continual change and transformation, the undermining of everything capitalism told us in the past.”
Cooperation, on the other hand, stresses mutual aid across borders, worker solidarity, and local resilience networks.
THE CENTRAL CONTRADICTION CONSIDERS THE POLES OF THE COOPERATION-COMPETITION DIMENSION TO BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
The ruling order claims everything can change—production, jobs, locations, but that society itself cannot be changed. Capitalism “revolutionizes production, but tells us society cannot be revolutionized. Dominators say, Accept the system. Adapt or fall. Cooperators contend that “If everything else changes, power and wealth extracted from the labor of others can also change to general prosperity, not just enriching the richer more.
DAILY LIFE UNDER CAPITALIST ECONOMIES
The “Normal life” routine itself in neocapitalist societies becomes a quiet form of control. Life becomes a cycle of labor, exhaustion, and repetition—a form of “voluntary enslavement.” The everyday repetition leaves citizens little time to reflect on their situation. Instead, the elite feed working people entertainment to sedate them between their labor and commutes.
The natural cooperator drives within the poor eventually awakens them to see and discuss the pattern of exploitation that rules them. Together, workers seek meaning in their lives beyond just surviving on their scant wages.
WHEN LIFE BECOMES INTOLERABLE, THE POOR BECOME MUTINOUS
Revolution begins when everyday life becomes intolerable because the elite fail to provide stability, to predict people’s income, well-being, and food supply, or to maintain social security and pensions that give their existence even the stability for which they had settled.
PEOPLE SEEK EACH OTHER, COLLECTIVE SOLUTIONS ARISE, AND OLD OBEDIENCE WEAKENS
DOMINATORS BREAKDOWN, COOPERATOR OPPORTUNITIES EMERGE
Revolution doesn’t come from below alone. It requires a fracture above. Crisis forces ruling groups into conflict with each other; they can no longer govern as before.
Elites fight among each other (eg, Trump vs Musk); they push alternate schemes that favor them over their competitors and generate instability throughout the society. Their infighting and instability opens power gaps for new structures, like powerful unions, tenant organizations, and local democratic advocacy groups.
CRISIS IS A SYSTEMIC FEATURE OF CAPITALISM
Capitalism does not produce stability—it produces cycles of crisis. “Every capitalist crisis… worsens conditions for the masses and destabilizes the ruling class itself.” Recurring crises trigger capitalists to institute harsh control methods like Trump’s ICE-thug atrocities. But the crises spark innovative reactions among the common people.
INEVITABILITY?
Revolution need not mean just chaos—it can result in cooperative organizing principles that manage our competing tendencies and let us balance the world’s entire giving and taking dimension
Harman argues that revolution is not hypothetical—it emerges from the system’s own contradictions; the logic of globalization itself creates “repeated crises” that generate revolutionary conditions. To this, the Dominators’ response is Suppress, manage, distract; the Cooperators’ is Organize, understand, transform.
DOMINATOR VS COOPERATOR — THE DECISIVE FRACTURE
Revolution need not mean just chaos—it can result in cooperative organizing principles that manage our competing tendancies and let us balance the world’s entire giving and taking dimension
