internationalization of the proletariat

The next fifty to hundred years will see the true internationalization of the proletariat.
At least in the objective sense, hopefully in the subjective sense.

Due to the forces of neoliberalist globalization the position of workers around the globe will tend to a low average. In the end this will be destructive even to capitalism itself, as the infrastructure (educated and healthy people, roads, telecom etc) will detoriate. But capitalism will not be able to do anything about it, as the cooperation needed for this is far beyond the logic of short term survival in competetive markets.

OK, I admit my indebtedness to John Gray - False Dawn (Delussions of Global Capitalism)
So where's the actor that will put an end to this?
