Apple’s march to market supremacy has been accomplished at tremendous cost to both American and Chinese workers Ever since the beginning of the current global economic crisis, the focus of both critical analysis and public odium has been speculative capital. In the populist narrative, it was the breathtaking shenanigans of the banks in an atmosphere of deregulation that led to the economic collapse. The “financial economy,” characterized as parasitic and bad, was contrasted to the “real economy,” which was said to produce real goods and real value. Resources flowed into speculative activities in finance, resulting in a loss of dynamism in the real economy and eventually leading to credit cutoff at the height of the crisis, causing bankruptcies and massive layoffs.

For a decade we've been at war sending our soldiers to various places to fight for various reasons. As Americans we have historically stuck by our leaders when they asked us to go to war. There were always Americans that had questions, but for the most part it's been that way when it came to war. But the longer the wars have dragged the more we questioned, Vietnam being a prime example. Questions too are to be expected in a free society like ours. In so many nations, empires, kingdoms there was never choice. What the average person had to say meant nothing. People were told to trust in your king, leader etc for they know best. You can have questions, just keep them to yourself and trust blindly.

The G20 and its global economic agenda are an affront and a threat to people’s rights and welfare. The detention and deportation of Filipino activists from Seoul and the harassment and intimidation of a number of other activists at the hands of Korean immigration authorities are manifestations of the undemocratic and anti-people nature of the G20 and further exposed the illegitimacy of this group of self-proclaimed caretakers of the global economy. The protests and mobilizations in Korea of tens of thousands of people in clear defiance of the Korean governments security measures, is an indication of a clear disconnect between the agenda of the governments of the G20 countries and the interests and aspirations of their people.
