We face
“austerity” cuts, which will increase poverty, decimate our
social services and destroy the social fabric of our lives, we face rising unemployment and wage cuts/freezes. If you have a job, you'll have to work longer to get your pension and
that pension isn't going to be worth anything, it certainly will not
let you go into old age with dignity. It is obvious that there is
something drastically wrong with the system we live under.
Where should we look for answers? Well the bankers are criminals, the
politicians are corrupt and the business world is run by a bunch of
greedy self seeking parasites, and all of them work together to
increase and protect their own power and wealth. So we can't expect
much in the way of help from those sections of this society. It
should be obvious that if we appeal to that cocktail of greed and
corruption they will only dispense more of the same. They are in fact
the problem with our society and can never by part of the answer.
The
answers to our problems will only materialise when we all come
together and decide to do something about it. The answer will not be
found within the present system, we have to look outside to
alternative ways of structuring our relations one with the other.
Only the people can decide what the people want, and only the people
can construct a society that sees to the needs of those people with
fairness and justice.
We have had enough of leaders, kings,
presidents and prime ministers, enough of party politics and so
called representative democracy. Their track record is one of war,
corruption, greed, exploitation, repression and wide spread poverty.
The world has enough resources to see to the needs of all on this
planet, the reason we don't do so is because of the system we
tolerate, you can only have things, including the essentials of live
if some parasite can make a profit from the transaction. It doesn't
have to be that way, a society based on mutual aid, co-operation and
sustainability is possible, but only if we want it to be that type of world. It
is up to us, not them.
