All around the world, every day a political entity is held hostage or wrecked by the transfer of capital to a more willing or corrupt region of the globe. Free trade treaties now supplant local laws with individual citizens, NGOs and government entities being sued for interference with corporate profits for insisting on the previous balance between collective responsibility and personal rights be enforced and maintained. No longer needing the laws of the localized nation state to defend them from the anger of the local populace rebelling against uncontrolled exploitation, they are free to rape and pillage moving instantly somewhere else in the world once they are done.
The view of the Overseer God, that individual responsibility is the only moral value, ignores both the collective right and responsibility leaving the fate of the individual to himself and not the responsibility of the group. Business which has long loved and supported the Protestant ethic that each man?s fate is his own and he who doesn?t get his reward in this life will get it in the next, finds the overseer God a perfect companion for the unbridled acquisition of property at the expense of individuals through the crushing of the collective rights of the community whether expressed by a union, an ethnic or religious group, or a country.
Corporations, and their owners whom have already shed themselves of personal responsibility, have now shed themselves of collective responsibility through the mobility of capital and the moral authority of the right wing Christian movement to justify their behavior. In trade they have given financial and media support to a group of superstitious and mythology believing concrete thinkers who are more than willing to impose moral sanctions under the power of the state on others in the name of personal responsibility.
The result is a new form of theocratic fascism (the merger of business, church & state) where the only laws that will apply are those that control individual behavior and corporations are freed of all collective responsibility including taxation and regulation. Social programs are discharged as irresponsible reduction of personal responsibility or unsupportable in an era of reduced taxation. Nation states and other government entities become simply enforcers for the church of inquisition era moral law and as armies for corporations against cultures and nation states who resist the loss of collective rights and responsibilities.
