We said last year that the deepest significance of The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 was that the greatest open world videogames of our era are the digital rehearsal of massive transnational class struggles to come.
The rehearsal is over.
The Panama Papers -- the biggest open source investigative journalism project, ever -- is now live. A massive cache of two terabytes of data, documenting some of the sleaziest offshore deals ever concocted by our transnational elites, is now in the hands of hundreds of reporters.
It's worth remembering that Wikileaks took down dozens of governments, despite being little more than diplomatic chatter. But the Panama Papers is going to ignite a much, much bigger firestorm: a raging debate on who owns what in the world-system.
You see, the transnational bourgeoisie has been waging a relentless class war against us workers for forty years now. The Wall Street plutocrats, the Euro-Minotaurists, the Eurasian petro-colonialists, and the bourgeoisies of Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and countless other nations have collectively devastated the planet's real wages, plundered our pensions, ravaged our schools and hospitals, and now threaten to drive humanity to climate change-induced extinction.
Now comes the beginning of the payback. We live in epic times!
