What Destroys the World? What is it that can be compared with man-eating sharks, Frankenstein′s monster and Hitler? What is it that destroys the environment, supports dictators, produces poverty and basically destroys the world? What can be called "unaccountable tyrants" and "inherently evil"?

The answer is: Companies. At least according to the film "The Corporation", which I watched during two horrifying hours last night. I believe I have never seen so much anticapitalistic propaganda at once. So much marxism, so many lies, so many inconsequences, so much rhetorical manipulation.

Even modest haters of companies - the basis for all our living standards - should be shocked. But no, the reviewers in Swedish media were all excited. And if that was not enough, the state′s Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR) will broadcast this on Swedish TV. What does this say about our media? About our society?
