The three traditional branches of the State: legislative, executive and judicial.
The fourth estate: media
The fifth, sixth power ...
Checks and balances in essence formulated to protect man from other men and men themselves from the State.
But
when the three traditional branches of government are being pierced
transversely by the global economic power, who protects men from the
greed of the markets?
The traditional powers and the major media have
betrayed society. Deliberately, giving way to economic powers in their
global advance. Allowing social and ecological injustice. Increasing the
gap between rich and poor. Connivance of powers.
Power - Counterpower.
Action - Reaction.
Connivance - RESISTANCE!!
When
economic powers have upset the balance in their ultra-neoliberal and
globalizing strategy, only the people will be able to become the
counterpower to recover or achieve rights and freedoms.
It's not
to aspire to the recovery of hackneyed welfare state of the European
democracies, but to proclaim and demand social and ecological justice
for all peoples of the world. A new economic, political and social model
based on solidarity, culture and multiculturalism, on degrowth that
returns the balance between human being and nature, and between humans
themselves.

Plauto (254 b.c. -184 b.c.)
"Homo homini lupus"
(Man is a wolf to man)
