Globalised capitalism looked to developing countries to provide cheap deregulated labour. That cheap labour has been exploited in many ways - not only in the workplace but through geopolitical influences enacted on developing nations to force their markets to align with western interests.
That was exerted through both economic and military means at great cost to those local populations.
The moden capitalist requirement for infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is actually impossible. Something or someone will be exploited to achieve it. Either the people I mentioned above, or our natural environment - being polluted on an unprecedented planetary scale.
The beneficiaries are the wealthy vested interests who profit from this exploitative form of capitalism. The victims are primarily those in the developing world, who bear the brunt of the violence and exploitation. But it’s not only them - it’s us too, because globalisation enables turbo-capitalists to drive down wages by hiring globally or importing cheap labour.
Blaming the immigrants, the refugees, the asylum seekers isn’t fair - they’re as much a victim of this system as we are - probably more so to be honest.
The wealthy oligarchs who benefit from this system are delighted that we blame other victims, and each other. Anything but blaming them. They use our anger to enable political forces to gain power who stand purely on THEIR side.
Trump’s Republican Government benefits ONLY the billionaires, and Trump’s cronies.
British Conservative party and their unhinged Overton window shifting alter-ego Reform UK are the same.
Even the UK’s nominally left-wing Labour party is part of this - it’s sort of in the centre but now appears right-wing because the Overton window has moved so far to the right, they perceive the electorate’s dissatisfaction, they understand that to keep votes they have to follow suit and enact policies which punish fellow victims of globalised capitalism, to hang desperately on to shifting voter sentiment - paid for and delivered by the ultra wealthy, who want to extract every last cent from our pockets before it all collapses into climate change driven war & global unrest.
