They are coming to realise that the still current world view, based upon violence, hierarchic structures, capital and its temptations, in its effects is more destructive than for example the plague epidemic in the Middle Ages. Modern civilisation is increasingly being guided by illusory mental concepts the destructive potential of which equals that of the delusions of the insane. They are characterised by compulsiveness, a highly restricted sensibility and mental rigidity. As a consequence of these ideas about life, reality is in the end no longer perceived as such, resulting in a failure to manifest necessary responses to ocurring changes. The response no longer occurs in the framework of the existing requirements but is limited to whatever least disturbs the interest of an elitist minority. Under the cloak of freedom (neo-liberalism), the entire social life is subjected to serving Capital, whatever the cost. In the process of globalisation, all over the world Capital is chosen as the supreme ruler allowed to transmute the life of landscapes and forests, of animals and humans - the intactness of the entire biosphere - into vast amounts of money. These are then used solely to safeguard the continued self-gratification of a minority group in control of the means of power, the media and the financial centres, rather than in the service of the requirements of a healthy social existence of humanity together with all other life forms on earth. The result of this "progress" is an increasingly desperate situation of a large part of the world's population and the decimation of the diversity of species. Those individuals who have retained, or else regained, their sensitivity towards Life constitute humanity's sole hope for a future in which many nowadays still rampant ideas - in whichever ideology they may be rooted - will be ostracised as a matter of course. The only chance for a transformation of human society towards tolerance, justice and socio-ecological compatibility lies in an increase as rapidly as possible of the number of truly emancipated individuals. Resistance against Imperialist Globalisation - in favour of Global Justice! Realization of souvereignty of the peoples! War, Conflicts, Militarism, NATO....- Neo-Liberalism - Globalization.... The US-built anti-terror alliance named their answer to the attacks of Sept.11.: "Enduring Freedom" According to the goals of capitalism the motto seems correct as this war is only trying to reinforce the freedom of exploitation and suppression by the industrialized countries. Pretending to be guided by humanistic motivations in waging this kind of war is pure lie and hypocrisy. WTO, WB, IMF, MAI, WEF....- against Neo-Liberalism - GLOBALIZATION FROM BELOW....

The Turn Around Agenda (4. 2000), support requested ( german ) WTO Has Power to Override Civil Rights by Marta Russell LINKS: In the domain of Christianity the concept of a God who reserves his love for the diligent and wealthy is leading to the callous exploitation of both the human and material resources of our planet. The idea of a Saviour keeps our self-healing energies unutilised in paralysing fatalism. The concept of a God who favours a chosen people is preventing, even after the experience of the holocaust, a learning process towards tolerant peaceableness and equal cooperation with people who have been deprived of their homeland. The concept of a God who fights for his ideas with fire and sword gives rise to the madness of a Holy War. The idea of a male God is used to disadvantage women. The idea of a God outside our human existence deprives us of our own responsibility. The mechanical idea of karma favours the maintenance of the status quo: those of low status have to blame themselves for it while those at the top can revel in their self-righteousness! The view that we exist separate from Nature and are meant to rule over it perverts the instinct of self-preservation into an unfeeling, merciless craving for power.   home german english top contact us español visitor's book links Emanzipation Humanum, version 12. 2001, criticism, suggestions as to form and content, dialogue, translation into other languages are all desiered (home) | (Motivation) | (war, NATO) | (WTO, IMF, MAI) | (Awareness, Responsibility) | (choices) | ( links ) http://emanzipationhumanum.de/english/titels02.html
