Any country that attempts an alternative form of development is denied international loans and foreign investment and risks a financial crisis. In previous years, the United States used a country's generals to overthrow nations seeking an alternative to enforced poverty, but now economic pressure and covert or overt support for conservative parties is usually sufficient. Like most wars, there are casualties on both sides. If we continue our consumption-fueled environmental holocaust, one day even the rich will not be able to escape its consequences. As we put profit before everything, our families, communities, personal relationships, culture and spirituality are being corrupted by greed.
Class war erupts into real wars and people die on the battlefields.
We must repent, and sin no more. By this, I mean that we must use every ounce of our class privilege to destroy all forms of privilege. We must work for justice and never be satisfied until there are no longer rich or poor. Our idleness is only support for exploitation. There is a class war going on and hundreds of millions are dying.
