We need a new form of collectivism, right now the world is caught in a crazy wave of ultra capitalism which is only profiting to a tiny group of people.
A country like France used to have a social model, with free medical care for all, free education for all, public services available equally in big cities and small villages, all of that is being destroyed by globalization.
Jobs are being lost every day because big companies delocalize in countries where people are paid only a few euros a day, the lower and middle classes are becoming poorer every year, what used to be free is more and more expensive, public services are being dismantled, this is not a better world.
And one of the reasons why many French people have become eurosceptics is because the EU is no longer doing what it was originally supposed to do, the goal of the EEC was to abolish internal borders but also to strengthen external borders to protect the European social model, now those external borders are wide open to unfair competition from countries where workers are treated like slaves, and that's destroying our social model.
The EU is also pushing to privatize public services like the post office, the electricity company or the train company, what good will it do to give those services to multinationals? Public services are meant to serve the public equally, not to generate profits for a small group of people. The EU doesn't need dozens of post offices, electricity companies or train companies competing with each other, just like with the European contral bank, the EU needs a European central post office, a European central electricity company and a European central train company with a monopoly over the EU market to offer a cheap and equal service to all EU citizens.
Capitalism has gone too far, and all it's doing is making rich people even richer.
