Our era is one not of capitalism, but of rampant corporatism and consumerism, master and slave. The unavoidable end product is a company like Tesco. This faceless collective has grown by first offering the user the best alternative and then offering no alternative. The motto is 'everything, to everyone, everywhere'. How chilling. This cancerous market force has killed agriculture and millions of small and medium businesses. Poor quality, mass produced meat, fruit and vegetables have now replaced local produce and choice. Food shortages are common. Many times I have left without potatoes or bread or milk. There are often large queues at petrol pumps caused by the pulsing of shoppers and not by petrol supplies. Small town centres now contain just charity shops and building societies. My home village, once considered the 'queen of villages' now has a large polyp attached which has caused huge traffic problems, light pollution problems and has violated planning laws by expansion onto green land. This has happened everywhere, to everyone in every way. This is your prize for winning the cold war. Power over your life in fewer hands than ever before and with less accountability than at any stage. The Blue army has won.
