Preamble
The Global Political Structure
The global political structure is built around a "grow-or-die" economic imperative fundamentally at odds with nature and the survival of complex life, including humanity.
Neoliberal capitalism has colonized the world and extracted the wealth from the working classes, especially in the Global South, resulting in growing poverty and susceptibility to the effects of climate, enforced globally by escalating militarism and imperialism threatening nuclear annihilation, and locally by an increasingly militarized and brutal police response.
Global corporations have undermined local democracy and replaced self-determination with a bureaucratic oligarchy made up of wealthy business executives with governmental representatives that claim "representative democracy" while acting to restrict ballot access from all but those approved by the oligarchy.
