I wouldn't lable you communist, naive perhaps. Look at the ecological damage
that goes on in china and vietnam and the massive damage caused to the
environment in eastern europe and the USSR.

You'll either get raped by corporations or governments, at least the
corporations give you cheap shoes.

Seriously though, the only way to compete with globalization is by becoming
cheaper and better than the pennies per hour programmer in the phillipines.
All you will do is instead of Nike being an american company, they become an
indonesian company.
