Time We Cured The Disease And Not Just Treat The Symptoms.

It is worrying that currently so many more people are being medicalised.

There is a tendency to diagnose the individual as "sick" when the sickness is the capitalist system. 

The pain is being treated: not the cause of the pain.

Globalisation has allowed companies to move away from countries where workers have won some concessions from the bosses.

They are free to exploit labour that is crushed by corrupt repressive regimes and where no environmental constraints are applied.

Whole communities have been dumped, purely for short term aims and to maximise profits..  

Millions of people are without work or hope of improving their lives or the lives of their children, neither with perspectives for a future. 

Doctors treat their symptoms of depression with drugs and people self medicate with alcohol and recreational drugs.

It has become the way of life.

Whilst the miners in China suffer dirty dangerous working environments and are denied even the most basic self determination ex miners in Britain live a sad pilled up half life.

It is a sick system. 

Capitalism is sick, it makes our planet sick and it makes us sick. I think it is time we cured the disease and not just treat the symptoms.
