Even if this system was controlled by the nicest, most virtuous people around, instead of satanic psychopaths, the system itself produces this result by destroying the natural bonds between men and land, men and women, family and children, community and trade, etc. I suspect that it’s the very reason why such a system cannot be led by righteous people – because the end goal of it is in itself unrighteous in the long run.
I'd say that the most dramatic way to reduce the problems that you have stated. Is literal Peak Oil.
When fossil fuels actually start depleting gradually over time and perhaps other energy sources as well. You will see a literal destructive and painful transformation of society back to a more ideal setting morally and socially.
As localization will be forced upon us. And all the goods you have mentioned would have to return to fill the void left behind by the collapsed globalism.
Because migration would be much harder in a non-fossil fuel world. And crossing oceans would require much more skill than many 3rd world peoples can muster.
