It is this exactly this dismal situation we see today, with capital controlling virtually all our institutions – government, media, education, economy, trade relations, etc. As a result, the "economy" heads toward the upper reaches of dismal disparity and predation. No economy so controlled by capital, by a minority of empoyers and capitalists, as opposed to the vast majority of wage earners can ever lead to social peace, justice, and balanced economy and environment. As history reveals, factor imbalance does not last forever.
As a result of the largely enlosure-driven disparties of wealth, power and freedom, the ruling elites sitting atop their enclosure-driven gains must become ever more paranoid and concerned with holding onto power. They, of all people, understand the inequities, the raw exploitation and so fear most of all – economic democracy.
Indeed , so many around the world who have fought for economic democracy and land reform – in order to offset the results of historic enclosures and imperialism – have been murdered, imprisoned, and driven from the state house. The private armies, the mercenaries of the rich have often seen to it.
However, these are not strategies that can last, as eventually, the majority can overcome ruling elites either by honest democracy and valid elections or simply by ousting and killing the rich. The internet gives us hope today that we can eventually re-order society peacefully and escape the confines of gross factor imbalance and neo-slavery... assuming, of course, honest election processes.
Due to ongoing overpopulation resulting from centuries of "religious" dogma, the chances for the majority to ever have a viable plot of land serving as a respite from the free market are not only ever diminishing but, worse, we now also face a future of wars over resources - as a direct result of not achieving a population balance. For this reason, and given the un-likelihood of restoring prior conditions of widespread natural freedom, it is essential that we begin to achieve a societal balance of power between capital and labor – otherwise, history dictates the denouement is not good.
Only by stemming the predation of capital or labor against and over the other factor can we achieve any lasting peace and prosperity. We have seen the mistakes of communism and labor’s revenge at one extreme. Today, we are now forced to witness the fascism of capital’s power and predation as the world turns into a ruling elite-driven gulag driven by the appointed and not the fairly elected.
In any case, the price of factor imbalance is extreme and it is time we right the scales of justice and give birth to a true free marketplace.
