Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of �Critical Theory of Patriarchy� explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have �replaced� matriarchies and nature itself by a �progressive� counter-world of �capital�. This transformation characterizes �capitalist patriarchy� including �socialism�. Its demise is due to the �alchemical� destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as �creation�. This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new �military alchemy�, treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the �Planetary Movement for Mother Earth�.
