For all the talk of globalization, there is little talk of community, the "global village" of the sixties having been swept aside by the rise (and now fall...?) of corporate interests seeking to gather wealth from abroad through financial empires supported by the hidden fist of the military empire. A true era of globalization would be a "progressive" era, one in which all the people of the world had access to what is described above as being progressive interests. It would deny U.S. military occupation of countries or bases through which the material gains of the corporate sector could be enriched. It would deny the ability to harvest and capture the wealth of another country. It would enable the freedoms of other people as is so often not the case today. It would enable a world where globalization meant equality for all, fair trade for all, environmental protection, health care, education, workers equality, women's equality – all beyond the rhetoric and spin of any label and be an actuality based on progressive actions throughout the world.
