Dr. Shiva has some salient points in the video link you shared, but it's still propaganda as it feeds on fear to centralize his power and his information. "The Elites" is just another name for "Aristocracy" and no one wants to lose what they have, no matter how much they have or how little they have. It's the addictions of survival, if you will; it's part of the human condition in order to survive in this world we share: to want more, to improve our lifestyle and the future lifestyle of our offspring (eg "I just want a better life for my children"). Also missing from his diagram is the 2000-ish years of human oppression in the western world by Christianity and its churches, which continues to this day, and also doesn't take into consideration Nature vs Animal population (humans included), as any species that experiences exponential growth will experience exponential death at some point. At the end he states, "I don't want to have to do this . . . this is something our parents should have done." This is a sympathetic rhetorical method to manipulate and victimize the audience through scapegoating--this rhetorical method is used by Trump on the daily--and softens the real message, which is to give him money, buy books and "education" from one source, his source, his livelihood. The salient points he proposes can be read and gleaned in thousands of books starting with Plato and Aristotle for the western mindset. Also, in the classes of human populations on this planet, the US citizens are the Elites/Aristocracy to the rest of the world's population and we along with China consume the overwhelming majority of the worlds resources. Our consumerist lifestyle and the way we create more money through debt is spreading across this world's populations and economies. The rub is there is a finite amount of resources on this planet to support this effort. "Question authority. Think for yourself" - Noam Chomsky Good luck, y'all! #freakpower
