3. Organized crime increases as human misery and distorted sexuality drives more and more people into the streets

for drugs, sex and danger.

Solidarity supplies become mere commodities produced for individual escape rather than used, as is has been the

case in most of human history, as sacred supplies to celebrate cherished social relations.

4. White collar crime increases as the middle classes come to realize the need for a portfolio for their senior years,

as they come to realize the futility of serving the corporation, and as they come to face life crises in a globalized

economy beyond even their extensive resources.

Doctors, lawyers, professors and administrators everywhere learn to take care of themselves at the cost of patients,

clients, students and staff as well as the customers and communities in which they are licensed to serve the needs of

health, law, education and public service.

5. Political crime increases as global capitalists try to control workers and peasants in the Third World as well as

dissent and the impetus for social justice at home.

6. Global capitalism exacerbates all five kinds of crime while expanding their counterparts in previously low-crime

societies around the world.

7. The power of the state to police is diverted from the necessary repression of activity harmful to the humanprocess to the unnecessary repression of workers, minorities and emancipatory activity.

E. Still more crime in a Globalized Economy:

7. Capitalism and the profit motive leads to dangerous food additives; unsafe toys, automobiles, drugs, and unsafe

working conditions in factory, mine, and sports for all countries.

8. Globalized Capitalism dumps unsafe products in the Third World when they cannot be sold in advanced

capitalist countries.

E. Effects on Politics:

1. The world capitalist system requires a false peace as well as huge military apparatus to control resistance and

rebellion in the Third World. Rich capitalist countries under the leadership of the USA engineer compliance with

the policies of transnational banking and commerce via military, economic and fiscal weapons.

2. Global Capitalism is inimical to democracy at home and abroad; buying it at home and repressing it abroad.
