CAPITALISM

Civilization is an expansive process, spreading across the Earth, leaving a trail of domination and destruction behind.  Historically, this has been facilitated by conquest, however, over the past 500 years or so the mode of expansion has radically changed.  Capitalism and globalization are now the forces of expansion, which have been responsible for most of the world's current "development".  It fuels environmental destruction, industrialization, urbanization, and the loss of self-sufficency.  It has turned hunters and farmers into workers; forests to asphalt; and animals to shrink-wrapped pieces of meat.  It is an exploitative process which transforms everything into a commodity - even our own lives. 

Capitalism, globalization, and civilization are intimately linked.  Globalization is the current and most efficient mode of the civilizing process - transforming nature and humanity on a global scale to be dependent on a way of living and a paradigm that is destructive and unsustainable.  We are against all forms of exploitation and domination, therefore we reject capitalism.  We realize, however, that capitalism is a symptom of the more oppressive force of civilization, and we are not content on attacking just symptoms instead of the disease that caused them.
