The global population under thirty has grown up in an environment of total consumerism, where low-price items from the People’s Republic of China predominate.
It’s very likely that most of them have never consumed a product not manufactured in Chinese Communist Party factories. I mention this deliberately because, in China, the State — that is, the members of the Communist Party and its bureaucracy — owns everything and everyone within its vast country.
The strategic partners of this system are global corporations and the international financial system, which have transformed into what I call «corporate communism»: a model in which goods and services are produced at the lowest possible cost, following the principles of postmodern and atheistic economic liberalism.
This occurs in a country where citizens lack rights or have them severely limited: from private property to freedom of expression. Paradoxically, the goods produced under these conditions are then sold in the West, where these same corporations advocate for civil rights that are denied in the country that supplies them.
This «corporate communism» produces not only objects but also exports ideology. It finances and promotes progressivism and wokism, including the trans ideology, which is not related to homosexuality.
Transsexualism is a postmodern ideology, born from extreme liberalism in its quest for limitless, unfounded freedom, and it is currently part of the vague woke movement. The curious thing is that this ideology is promoted only in Western, Christian-rooted societies, not in China or the Islamic world.
Just observe our surroundings: the woke agenda dominates shopping malls, universities, global brands, and even the State itself. Meanwhile, an entire generation has been educated with the idea that everything must be made in China or other satellite countries, except in their own.
This has destroyed the industrial base of many nations: manufacturing. And without manufacturing, a nation is poor. Agriculture alone does not lift a people out of poverty. Every human being is born poor, and those who inherit something do so because their parents worked and produced. That income did not fall from the sky and can be easily confiscated.
Globalization, although it has taken hundreds of millions out of misery by integrating them into manufacturing industries, has also impoverished vast areas of the planet: especially Europe, the United States, and Hispanic America, where manufacturing has almost disappeared.
Countries that opened their borders to corporations that produce in China or other satellite countries now find themselves trapped. Their own industries are suffocated by regulations and taxes that make them obsolete before production even begins. This is one of the gravest problems of the West: the uncontrolled expansion of the modern democratic state’s regulatory apparatus.
In the last two decades, environmental, human rights, trans, gender, equity, race, and many other regulations have proliferated. Those who don’t comply go to jail. Impossible ethical and production standards are demanded locally, yet they are not enforced in the countries where everything is manufactured. This double standard is unacceptable.
Free trade must begin at home: in one’s own country, in the city where one lives and wants to develop their life project. Today, the opposite happens: free trade starts from one’s home outward. But establishing a local industry is an odyssey.
Taxes, regulations, fines, and ongoing licenses make entrepreneurship nearly impossible, if not heroic. We then marvel at China’s industrial achievements without considering that these are due to conditions diametrically opposed to those demanded in the West.
This model is promoted by Western politicians, often at the behest of corporate communism. In this way, foreign interests are favored, and the population remains dependent and poor. In this context, corporate communism plays a central role.
Through NGOs, international organizations, and aligned politicians, environmental, labor, conservation legislations, copyright laws, and ethical codes are introduced — not to protect but to hinder local competition.
Meanwhile, in their centers of production — such as China — these corporations not only tolerate extreme working conditions but benefit from them. To illustrate this point, it is enough to cite Article 6 of the Chinese Constitution: “The foundation of the socialist economic system of the People’s Republic of China is socialist public ownership of the means of production, that is, ownership by the entire people and collective ownership by the masses of workers.”
In other words, the Chinese government — its bureaucrats and politicians — is a partner of the large corporations, guaranteeing them cheap labor, unregulated, untaxed, license-free, and with virtually free energy, in exchange for a share.
This allows for extremely low production costs. Then, products arrive in a West caught up in consumerism and the trap of cheap prices, while it abandons its industrial capacity.
Globalization, in its current form, must change its rules. If not, it is no longer useful. The standards imposed in the West are not enforced in the East, making price competition impossible. Citizens should demand the possibility of creating jobs, manufacturing, and wealth in their own countries.
To do so, it is essential to eliminate crushing taxes and, from the Constitution, prohibit any regulation that limits the right to work and free trade in its broadest sense.
If not, the future of the West — which has become an idolater of Pachamama — will be too dark, if it is not already, as its enemies mockingly comment.
