In Mexico we work not to die and we die in our work!

In Mexico, “modernity” means returning to the age of Porfirio Díaz.

IV. After the 20th century, above they continue with…the 19th century

The machine to make merchandise hides its cause but not its effect. The powerful nucleus of the system is hidden behind the market and salaries: that is, private control of the means of production and exchange.

The nine nations that are participating in the neo-conquest of Mexico are comprised of banks, industries and commerce, all of it foreign. And their armies of conquest and occupation are representatives, senators, municipal presidents, local representatives, governors, presidents of the Republic and Secretaries of State.

This is the present history that unites the north, center and south of Mexico. The end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th have returned:

The dispossession of lands.
The destruction of nature.
The destruction of the social fabric.
The destruction of the culture of organizing.
Gender-based violence against women –domestic violence as well as social, cultural and institutional violence.
A lack of appreciation for elders, the elderly.
The commercialization of childhood.
The criminalization of youth.
The privatization of higher education.
The dismantling of the elementary and secondary education systems.
The dismantling of social security.
The destruction and reconstruction of labor conditions to return conditions during the time of Porfirio Díaz.
Pushing out street vendors and strangling small and mid-sized businesses; to the benefit of large foreign commercial capital.
Discrimination and repression against sexual difference, including within the left.
A perverse autism within the mass media.
“Hunger knocks us down, but indigenous dignity lifts us up,” an indigenous woman, chief of the Kumiai, told us.

In Mexico we work not to die and we die in our work.

This is the best description of globalization I've ever seen. I hope Adam Smith is rotting in Hell!
