The Grim Reality of Poverty and why No one is Stopping it

Poverty. It's a grim reality we all have to face. "A blemish to the face of mankind" some call it. But can we blame the poor for the state they're in? More than 80% of humanity live in countries where the income between the rich and the poor keep getting wider. The worlds richest 1% owns 40% of the total wealth in the world. Who can we blame? The governments of the third world for being corrupt and allowing exploitation and privatization? The governments of the first world for denying the "enemy" the right to live? These are all factors contributing to the people plight. The worlds fortunate people know about these factors but a resolution on combating poverty has failed.

Behind globalization there is a motive. A motive schemed by the worlds richest men and women to steal from those who still have something and to leave them nothing. This is the worlds biggest mass murder and it is all in the name of globalization. The rich cower behind this fictitous promise of worldwide unity and global citizenship. Most American presidents would make around an average of $400,000 annually. This is not much compared to other Americans who work within the private sector. I still believe it is too much. A real man of the people I believe should be paid the average wage of a worker and is therefore apart of the workers and not the elite. The topic of class struggle has remained a hot topic even till now. You would think this topic of old would be resolved by our fathers but the duty is left to us. The global practices, decisions and promises have been driven by the rich and powerful. These global actors can include, leaders of powerful nations, multinational corporations and institutions. As a result of massive force and influence the leaders and people of less economically developed countries are time and again powerless to stop them. Consequently the rich and powerful are allowed to impose their will on the people. As an expat living in the Philippines, watching politics here is like watching Home and Away in Australia. You would see exiled presidents return like movie stars-actually they are movie stars and you would see the sons and daughters of old politicians taking over their parents's seat. The Philippines is again like most countries hiding behing the veil of democracy. It ressembles traites similiar to that of the Russian aristocracy before World War One. It is in our individual power that we have the power to help. Why is it that people continue to buy from GAP even after they know GAP uses sweat shop labour? It is now within all of us this materialistic desire much like the desire nature gave us to fuck everything that moves. Which again points us to the desire powerful and rich companies and institutions face. Economic institutions over its years in power have forged bonds between the biggest businesses in the world creating an international economic police force which threatens the lives of every worker, child and parent of the third world. Poverty is easily "curable" it is a disease that will spread from Sub-Saharan Africa to the busy streets of wall street and to the doors of the Kremlin. By allowing this economic police force we are forfeiting the future of our children. The world has changed greatly throughout its existence. This world wasn't created with barbed wire fences keeping people divided. Earth wasn't created with the rich and powerful it was created with humanity living the same harsh weather of the Ice age, it was created with all humankind on the same basis and understanding. Only then, when we started building empires and when we created social castes did we start destroying our humanity we have allowed the evilness we have been given by nature to determine our lives. We do not need survival of the fittest although we are humans and are capable of great horrors our ancestors have spent blood, and time to teach us morals and ethics. We will not let capitalism make us animals. We do not need social classes to divide while we can be united. Now I leave you with this message: Expropriate from the enemies of social equality.
