Love revolution on globalisation

The overall lesson of the fall of Berlin Wall in 1989 is not an optimistic one. Each of the great powers (Europe, U.S., Russia & China) barrels ahead guided by its own version of the past. The new world order after 1989 seemed so promising. As the British rock band Jesus Jones explained, watching the wall fall was like "watching the world wake up from history." Because the story of the Berlin Wall's fall reads differently around the world, however, history might yet, alas, have the last laugh.

Europe remains committed to collectivism, standing up to geopolitical bullies with only the greatest reluctance. Europe had nearly committed suicide in World War I. It tried again in World War II. No one believed it might survive a third try in the Atomic Age. Europe's ongoing fascination with consensus reveals in large measure why its leaders have been so critical of aggressive U.S. policies over the last two decades.

The United States remains committed to fielding the world's most powerful military, even at the cost of its economic base and the educational system that generated such power in the first place because the Soviet surrender symbolized in the minds of American elite; a worldwide acceptance of U.S. global dominance where might makes right, and the West were right all along about free markets and democratic values hence the birth of globalization.

Russians typically draw more bitter lessons from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Gorbachev's hopes for further integration with Europe were soon dashed. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization expanded, despite what Moscow took to be explicit promises that it would be held at a newly unified Germany's eastern border. Russians whose strength had once made the West shake with fear were now chastised for seeking order in their own backyard by a rival willing to send troops halfway around the world at the slightest provocation.

China's legacy of 1989 is the most inwardly focused, as the year conjures memories not of Berlin, but instead of Tiananmen Square. Eastern Europe's upheaval worried Chinese leaders, haunted by their violent Cultural Revolution when crowds went awry. Among the regimes that faced demonstrations in 1989, only China's government remains in power today. Why? Because it showed no mercy. The government made an implicit deal with its citizens: political sclerosis in exchange for economic growth.

At the end of the day, there would be a world government and a single currency whether we like it or not; in order to facilitate the grand lie that we can be superhuman outside Christ and instigate the ultimate rebellion of accepting the beast's mark. The book of Daniel clearly depicts a multipolar world order during the last days. So as the wild West meets the wise East in a very tensed atmosphere, be rest assured that there is nothing in it for us just like the fall of the Berlin Wall; nevertheless as we should all know Christ Jesus makes a better place for us while the dragon takes full charge of the gullible.
