The Popular Sectors of the Central Countries

The process of concentrating wealth and decision-making power not only ruthlessly punishes the peoples of the countries of the southern hemisphere but also the popular sectors of the central countries. This forces us to think about who leads and benefits from the concentrating process. The answer points to a powerful minority of people who live in outrageous opulence. They are the owners of capital and the largest corporations, guided by an alienated greed for unlimited accumulation. They do not care about the damage they cause, the injustices and inequalities they generate in every corner of the world. In this march, the peoples of other countries fall and so do the popular sectors of the countries where they were born and occasionally live.

This situation is both a global disgrace and an opportunity to transform the destructive course they have imposed on humanity and the planet. If the concentration of wealth and decisions grows steadily, it will also focus on that minority that increases in its smallness the anger and frustration of billions of beings. At some point there will not be enough barbed wire or repression to protect them. However, the challenge will not end up overthrowing them but, most especially, in what will be the new thing that will predominate. This is a collective work that mobilizes many of us.
