This enemy is called global capitalism. For decades, a serious weakness in the struggles for social change, including the environmental and social justice movements, has been a lack of understanding of the true nature of the system that we live under, and its economic, political and ideological components. This has resulted in an inability to name it as the problem. Instead we often hear vague populist terms like “The 1%,” “the rich,” “banksters,” and “greedy corporations.” But the problem goes much deeper than the depravity of any particular individuals or institutions. It lies in the structural foundation of the entire way of life that currently dominates the globe.
