The BBC and many other media sources say that no-one really knows what the Brazilians and the Occupy movement are protesting about.
The journalists cannot find a clear message from these protests. The reason that Occupy and the Brazilians seem confused, and even incomprehensible, is that they believe wholeheartedly in globalization yet are unwittingly protesting against their own beliefs. The people are protesting about the consequences of their own beliefs.
The people support globalisation but everything good is local not global. Good schools, good health services, a sustainable economy, a pleasant environment, employment near home so that you do not need to disturb your whole family when you change jobs: these are all local. You need local politicians with real power - with sovereignty - to provide these things.
Contrast the local with the international, consider the fruits of globalisation: banksters, corrupt politicians bribed by banks and multinationals, oil wars, corporate tax evasion, massive movements of labour to swamp the job market and overcrowd your country and global warming. The bad things that leave us powerless are global.
The simple truth is that a generation has been raised to believe that globalization is a "good thing" when it is obviously bad. This false belief is the creation of the globalised media and it is supported by large corporations, by megastates like the EU, China and USA and by International Socialists (SWP) and postmarxists.
Moderate international trade and exchange of people and culture is a good thing but rampant globalization is evil and greedy or part of the dystopian dream of the lunatic left. It is time to reject the idea of a labour force swilling around the world like locusts to be employed by multinationals that squeeze the land and people for every drop of resource. We need a world of peaceful, sustainable nations cooperating and trading moderately not this manic pillaging of the globe and its people.
The centre of the globalizing tendency in the UK is the BBC, home of the "World Service" and internationalism. BBC journalists and senior executives should be picketed and pursued until they understand that they are creating mayhem. Whether you are unemployed, poor, support Occupy, are green, a small or medium sized business, EDL or Moslem, it is the continuous agitation by the BBC for globalisation that is creating the problems you confront. It is the BBC that campaigns for a globalised world, from the free movement of labour through the building of megastates like the EU to the unwanted interference in foreign lands. It is the BBC News that creates the impression of the "centre" ground in the UK and it's employees are such ardent supporters of globalisation that they are unaware of their prejudice. The independent media follow the lead of the BBC and the politicians play into this artificial "centre" ground.
