i think capitalism will destroy humanity, it's like a drug for the society we live in, we know it's bad but we can't get rid of it, we are addicted to it. Anyway, good things always have an end
globalization has been around before anyone has ever coined the term. The Chinese traded silk to the Romans, and in route they picked up Buddhism. That's both the globalization, religions and culture spreading

That's both the globalization, religions and culture spreading there is an ongoing debate (in the study of international relations) whether globalisation is just now a continuation of past trends, or with the world's increasingly integrated economy and interconnection if it has reached a whole new unprecedented era. The only way to 'lead Capitalism to something fair' (I believe) is through government regulation of the market. Without regulation the West is just like the third world (the ultimate deregulated free market). The Right have traditionally been for small government, cutting taxes, minimal government regulation of the market and business and the Left has traditionally been for taxing you inorder to provide the means to police the market and provide a safety net to those would fall beneath the feet of the rat-race. But I see people in the US greatly vilify the 'Liberals' for having high taxes when the truth is the Left spends the money on programs of social uplift whereas the Right will spend that money on a bomb that will either sit in a bunker and gather dust or get dropped on some Iraqi family's house. The Left sees capitalism as a reality but recognises that it can be harsh so it needs programs to help the poor folks, whereas, the Right has this idea that if you strenghen big business (cut their taxes, deregulate, etc) then big business can make more chedder and the wealth will trickle down from the rich to the poor. Make the rich man richer so he can pay the poor man more, this is US Conservative policy, how any person who isn't utterly ballin' feed into that shit is beyond me.
