Poor people serve as cannon fodder and slave labour all over the frikking world, and anyone who doesn't see that is willfully shutting their eyes.

What we need is a worldwide Bill of Rights and a worldwide minimum wage...and a job provided for ANYONE who is willing to show up and do the work properly...as a basic right of human existence on this planet.

Does that mean more socialism than we have now? Yes, it does. It means a lot more socialism than we have now.

It could all be achieved if the present efforts put into arming and fighting wars with each other were instead put into positive progressive social development. That would mean, of course, that nations acted in the interests of ALL humanity, instead of just in the specific interests of the elite few who are in charge of each nation. It would mean genuine cooperation and the embracing of equality with other nations, rather than a continual battle for dominance and supremacy by the most powerful, which is what we have now.
