Sell the banks!

urgh

Yay! Reactionary politics. Let's go forward, not back..

HEY Steven waves

Hey DK

"member" Klaxon

Occupy doesn't have "members"

yeaaaaaaaaaa

I have a question,

afk a few mins

When is Bob Diamond gonna get SACKED

When are the banks gonna repay they money the got from the bail out

Money is not the problem

Cyprus, Portugal...

What is the problem then Steve...?

The short answer is the capitalist system

corruption, greed & corprate tax avoidance, that that is the problem tony

Resources are privatley owned, when the ought to be socialised, and we have a system reliant on infinate growth when we have only finite resources

He's talking rubbish, nationalist rubbish at that

I love short answers but can you be more specific? "The Capitalist System" is pretty broad.. I mean are we talking milton friedman or all of western civilisation?

I'd say Friedman's neoliberal fuck-fest is the logical conclusion of capitalism

Ok, we are getting there, so ownership is the main issue??

sure, i'd agree..

what we have now is no acident. This is late capitalism. When you have a system reliant on competition, and because ofhat, "losers", you will never have stability for the majority

So whats the solution??\

owenership is an issue in as much as the majority own practically nothing.

get things back into the PUBLIC domaim

Well I'd advocate a resourse based economy

ecosocialism

How???

the returm of the commons

get rid of the private sector

How???

@Tony, do you mean how do we get there?

How would you..Well I'd advocate a resourse based economy, get things back into the PUBLIC domaim, the returm of the commons, get rid of the private sector

How???

Through what actions?

revolution

but more likely, we won't have to do anything

getting MORE people to wake up

Capitalism wasn't a plan to overthrow Feudalism

it came about because new technological and social devlopments exploited aggitations within the Fuedalist system

Obi do occlondon have plans to join in with the 14th/ 15th month international protests?

Capitalism is already on the rocks. What we need to do is think about what we want to replace it with. We don't really need to rip it down.

agree Steve

Steve are you saying that we are wasting our time because capitalism is on its way out anyway?

how is the OT folding Steven?

going*

@DK, starting tomorrow. Will you go along?
