摘要
Globalization has always been the tabu subject when it came to it's downside, but in recent years, under the threat of terrorism and the economic depression, that has been creeping in the lives of the previously booming western economies. We have to dare, we must accept and we have no other choice than to face the truth: the idealised myth of "milk and honey" in a globalised society, is just a distant chimera. When the masterminds behind the global plans thought things over, they did not take into account that things may not turn out the same way they had been hoping for. They promised a world market, but what if not all the states are really ready to join? What if some have more to lose than gain? The world bloks began to restructure begining with the 9/11 disaster. Then it became obvious that the "Pax Americana" would not endure, and that we are not all brothers in our desires and our creed is just not the same. We have learned the hard way that we cannot simply bend every last man on earth to a reality that is artificially engineered. The organic relationship within national societies, within rural comunities, within families are just too deeply rooted to simply globalise them alltogether. At the same time, we have learned somenthing new about ourselves: that we are not ready to pay the ultimate price for this concept that ultimately serves the rich few to grow even stronger, but makes the poor even more dependant upon the former. This concept has been expressed with full stamina after the 2009 crisis, that has thrown many countries to their knees, in terms of economy. The domino effect was devastating and none can contradict the fact that globalization is the root of this effect. But, surprisingly, at the end of it all, those that created the crisis became even stronger, and those that were just victims lost even more than they had expected. The West no longer seems united, catalysed towards it's goal of global prosperity. Few are those who afford the risk to take on the burden of the many failing economies, those economies, engineered during the Cold War, those, whose workforce cannot abide to the rules of the anglosaxon West: Greece, Spain, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria are just a few of the rebelious capitalist children, who cannot become trully Westernised, but cannot go anywhere else either, or can they?... Marketplaces for the stronger countries, places of transit, places caught in time or perhaps the core of a different reality than that portrayed on the mainstream media... perhaps these, along with different parteners are the core of a different tipe of globalization, a more organic, one a more humane, a more natural form of GLOBAL COOPERATION. This idea is currently brewing in the minds of many, waiting for a catalyst, to gather momentum, gather strength and to become an undisputable reality of Europe and the World itself. It comes down to the small to unite, to polarise wealth and power, and to react, to reject monopolies and to present a new alternative, a national-globalised society, a new world, in which none has to loose identity, life or creed, in order to gain the advantages of global market. The demons of human nature should serve as a lesson for all those that think they can bend everything to their will. And we can find a more natural way to live together in a world without boundries : the time has come for Globalization to face reality.
