Privatization & Globalization (Ayn Rand / Ron Paul)

Before you prod on about corporatism... It doesn't take corporatism for three mom & pop businesses to form de facto cartels and control a small town. We must be as protected from government control as from private, unelectable control. I'm a Ron Paul supporter, but I'm no fan of rampant privatization. Ayn Rand knew nothing of the globalization that is upon us. Privatization coupled w/ globalization is simply dictatorship by foreign, phantom, unelectable boards of directors. Privatization + globalization allows for companies like Bechtel to troll the planet, prey on poor countries, privatize their natural resources and pollute the rest while extolling the virtues of employment for a few underpaid workers. Globalization + privatization allows for the possibility of a UAE national company to purchase America's ports... from a British company. Rampant, Rand privatization allows for private individuals to 'own' our natural resources. Unelectable boards of directors, particularly those w/ foreign interests, should not be allowed to control our water, energy and oil. A bunch of nouveau riche hicks shouldn't have been in such a position to tinker w/ California's energy as did those at Enron. I'm all for doing away with the IRS and the Fed. I'm all for ditching the war on drugs. I'm all for giving power to the states. These, alone, are sufficient reasons to vote for Ron Paul. However, I don't agree w/ anyone on everything. I'm not a follower looking for a leader. Discernment is key. We need to beware of those who blindly agree w/ everything anyone says.. and those who blindly believe anything that is published. Okay... I'm done. ;-) ourearthhome says: Privatization is the continuation of colonialism's legacy of land and natural resources monopoly which is the major cause of poverty and the disparity of wealth in 3rd world countries. If you can get people to agree that you can charge them for access to their own planet they are your slaves. To the extent that privatization continues to make private the earth that belongs to all and the economic values created by all, i.e. land values, it is merely the new colonialism. It started at home.
