I posted here a few months ago. I’ve written white papers for U.N. commissions, for the Trilateral Commission, and for the cosmetics industry as a lobbyist. I have nothing better to do, so I’ll repost some of the info I gave last time.

A seeming contradiction in globalism is that between it’s seemingly “socialist/leftwing” elements and its being advanced by multinational corporations and neoliberal elites. But, this process of globalization is driving toward the creation of the ideal consumer, not the ideal producer. The continuity of production is treated as a given, and this is largely due to automation. With automation handling the vast majority of formerly non-skilled labor production, the goal of the global economic system is the maintenance of the ideal consumer to purchase these commodities. The obvious problem is that these consumers have to have liquid capital to spend on the automation-produced goods. The “socialistic” solution is controlled wealth distribution to allow for product consumption. This might not seem to make sense—redistributing wealth from producers to consumers, so that they can purchase that production—but this cyclical process helps integrate consumers into the consumption process via credit, debt accumulation, and eventually with the onset of cashless society, directed and monitored spending.
