Abstract

As the result of Capitalist globalization and Transnational Formation, transnational classes have emerged from national classes, both capitalist class and working class ones. The transnational capitalist class now owns the means of production worldwide in the form of transnational co-corporations and also in the form of the World Bank, while the working class is now facing plural employers, either nationally, internationally or both. The result is simply that the traditional paradox which existed in one country now spreads out in the scale of the whole world: on the one hand, the social wealth has been accumulated and concentrated world-wide by the few and on the other hand, the working class are exploited world-wide, that is to say not only by the national capitalists, but also by the international capitalists abroad. Correspondent to the economic globalization, the TCC also became politicized and has pursued a class project of capitalist globalization institutionalized in an emergent transnational political power, which has no correspondent opponents as in a national state. Therefore, this new characteristic of historical transition has sped up the classes’ division in the world widely in a double sense: both economically and politically.
