Where are all those capitalist
democracies? Across the world country after country is making it
clear that the present political system, is no longer acceptable.
More than a month of street protests in Turkey, the same in Brazil,
daily protests in Greece, mass protests in Italy, Portugal, Spain and
more than a year of on going protests in Egypt. We could go on and on
across the globe, but staying in Europe, among other countries, we
have seen massive protest in Bulgaria, where the people now realise
that they are being ripped up, and sold off to the corporate world.
The Bulgarian people are pissed off
at their countries assets being sold to the corporate world. As well
as mass protest calling for the power companies to be nationalised,
due to stratospheric price increases. There is also a demand to
nationalise a recent discovered gold mine, where there are said to be
18,000 tonnes of gold ore, with an estimated value of $793 billion
(US). At the moment the gold mine is owned by a Canadian company
Dundee Precious Metals, and it is stated that from the value of
all the gold mined there, less than 1% will remain in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria, a poor country with $793 billions worth of gold in the
kitty??? This is corporate asset stripping on a large scale.
Asking our corporate master's
puppets, your national government, to please give us a little more of
what is ours in the first place, is guaranteed to produce more of the
same, austerity, perhaps administered with a different smile. The
state and the corporate world are one in the same thing, and you and
I are not in their club. We are at best paid pawns, at worst,
worthless dispensable entities. If you want that to change, then
it is the system that has to change, not the smiling face at the podium.
