Well, I do think about this scenario. It could happen in some 20 or 30 years if the world goes on with this economical system. The past world wars were caused by economic appetites as well. Patriotism is a lie used to mobilize the masses. You can't tell them to die, so the corporations could get richer. You have to mist their minds with a "holy cause". Political power is already controlled by corporations, at least in the highly industiralized western countries. They will be the cause. The question is: what will be after? Will they get stronger than ever or will the people come to their senses? The economic crises are getting worse which will lead to isolation and there you go....
