As in: neo-liberalism is wrecking world economy by making it something completely fictitious. Which means the top reaches royal/imperial/even godlike stature, but this is only possible by slowly sucking everybody else dry. They live fantasy lives far removed from our daily grind. In my country we have a prime minister who is proud of having no vision. His idea is that a vision just stands in the way of day-to-day pragmatics. I think he's the only one publicly admitting it, but all his western colleagues are no different. I say: without a vision you're just messing around. And that is exactly what the western world has been doing lately. But fairy tales never last, and this one will end too. So we see those WITH a vision -however wrong- gain influence: Putin strives to rebuild the Sovjet state and sphere of influence, IS wants to reinstate the Caliphate, I'm starting to suspect that Erdoghan dreams of growing Turkey to a new Ottoman empire and around here the neo-fascists are marching. And this fairy tale won't last either: the "visionaries" will increasingly dictate what the world will be like, or the neo-liberals will finally have sucked us completely dry and then perish themselves, because moving fictional numbers around from one computer to another doesn't grow food or provide one with shelter. Or we "normal people" will finally come to our senses and start acting. And I don't mean violence that just begets violence; just say "NO" to the visionless and the false visionaries. There are countless initiatives that are slowly building an alternate society, get informed about them. And everyone can contribute in whichever small way, starting with things like buying your next t-shirt made of bio-cotton made by people earning decent wages, by buying food that isn't poisoned, if possible from a local farmer, by getting your next lunch or coffee from a neighborhood shop not part of a huge chain. It's better for your health, for your peace of mind and for the world and your children and grandchildren in it. When "democratic" elections are bought, vote by spending your money elsewhere.
