Karl Marx told us that the working class had the most
power because they had the
tools. Translated into
reality: Without the working class, the
landowners and the
fabric owners would not
earn any
money. Therefore, the working class had the most
power - quite simply because they were
many!
Today, the traditional pattern with landowners controlling workforces is not as easy to spot in the West. However, if you look to South America or Africa, you will see that traditional companies like Exxon quite brutally use their power on the workforce - power they would not have if the working class organized themselves and demanded their rights.
This is a problem which is not dealt with because the companies I discuss here both control the governments and provide (cheap) services to the Western countries. So. The World will still be unfair.
Note: Exxon is only an example. McDonald's, Ford, IKEA, Statoil, Nike and lots, lots of others maintain the philosophy of getting cheap products through keeping poor countries poor.
