There is no one man who can do to the banks what Thatcher did to the miners. Notions of the nation state, flag waving patriotism and self-determination are now hopelessly quaint. We now have a global government - and it isn't the UN. These people operate almost completely outside of any national jurisdiction (with the possible exception of the US), wield enormous power and are completely opposed to the principles of democracy. If they have their way we'll be living under fascist rule - the perfect wedding of the interests of the state and the interests of the capitalist class - where the unions are smashed, regulations (H&S, human rights, environmental law, the minimum wage etc.) are obliterated and the media is compliant.
If you're right, it looks like Rollerball the film was a prophecy.
