Occupy Frankfurt Germany

[MrSalamifreak]

Wer meint, um Deutschland stehe es noch nicht so schlimm wie in den USA, dem kann man nur ein Zitat über diese Einstellung im 19. Jahrhundert im Bezug auf die Zustände in England an den Kopf werfen: "De te fabula narratur " (von dir handelt die Geschichte)

- Karl Marx

Die selbe Geschichte...

[zkxb]

Are people from Frankfurt called Frankfurters ?

[xxxxxxxxxxxxzxx]

I agree with you, when you say capitalism is not evil. But politicians and economy don't see us as human beings any more. As a child i had a very nice life there (germany) but as time wents by, it gone worse. More and more, like in the US years before.

There are a lot of people, which work for minimum vage. Theiy can't live FROM NOTHING!!!! politic has failed.

US, germany, UK, france, italy,.... we all (the peoples, not the banker) have to stay together for a new democracys and social systems!

[Francesko263]

All these movements throughout Europe and throughtout the world are just the beginning. This is war.

[silljos1]

Capitalism is not inherently evil, but it has evolved into corporatism. international companies exploit slave labor to perpetuate poverty in most of the world.

[Regenmacher175]

@silljos1 it's in the nature of capitalism to devolve into corporatism because it celebrates profit and individualism at the expense of solidarity and sacrifice. The fact that some people are greedy will eventually corrupt the capitalist system because of monopolies, cartels, price fixing and exploiting the poor. It's enough and we ought to be looking for a different kind of society.

[silljos1]

@Regenmacher175 very good points, I agree. Capitalism has definitely failed my country, where the health insurance corporations make obscene amounts of profits off from sick and dying people, and leaves 50 million of my fellow Americans without health insurance. we need to improve this system of legalized greed.

@timbor44

The only thing I ll stop is talking to you since apparently you are not capable of understanding my comments.

[AnimalJihad23]

@timbor44

I ve no idea what protests in the 90s and 80s you are talking about. And if you put America equal to its companies, business men and government you probably haven t understood what your country actually is.

For America is not its business men.. this is rather Anti-America since they re ruin your country. And every American who let them do so is a traitor! And btw.. we are also protesting against our own companies, but most goods come from the US and our gov. are just US peasants.

[reneemagray]

Why do you sit on your computer all day and bash people? If we were face to face I doubt you would have the guts to say half of what you say on-line. Why are you such a coward?

[reneemagray]

You like to speak but you don't have any sense. Just saying.

[reneemagray]

@timbor44 There's no self pity my friend my husband is dying of cancer and we can't go home for insurance reasons. You shouldn't be on this site if your here to bash the 99 percent. Hysterics I think you should look at yourself with your drama. Just saying.

[AnimalJihad23]

@timbor44

WTF!!? The only thing I am protesting agianst is the apparent abolishment of common sense.

What does this have to do with Anti-Americanism? They are protesting against the banks, the financial system and the corporations.. We do all these protests IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE AMERICANS. And btw.. THIS is the best thing one can do with his life. If you do not understand me I m sorry.

[suluksummuskulus]

man hätte jm. sprechen lassen müssen, der ahnung hat und rethorisch was drauf hat. nicht das am ende die frauenquote den ausschlag gab... scheiss pseudo-gleichberechtigung.

wenn ich nur von dem video ausgehe habe ich die gewissheit, dass es noch lange dauern wird, bis die gesellschaft rafft was gerechte verteilung individuell bedeutet und welche konsequenzen das z.b. hat auf das eigene konsumverhalten.

[AnimalJihad23]

@timbor44

Looks like you know dick about our country.

[1789Bastille]

maybe occupy is an artificial thing from the start. maybe there are people with hidden agendas.

it only matters what we make of it.

in frankfurt there was open dialogue, with different opinions. wich is good.

"i might not agree with your opinion, but i will fight to death, so that you can say it"

my opinion: equality is the key. it is just an unfair world now. the more people we are, the more we want. if we are all poor, nobodys poor.

[n310ea]

That girl doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about. Capitalism is not destroying our society, Crony Capitalism is what's causing the problem. Capitalism is based on free market and the rule of law. Crony Capitalism is when private businesses get benefits from the government that nobody else is allowed to have.

[elfboi523]

@n310ea Capitalism doesn't work without constant growth, but we are near the global limits. We're already overusing our resources, leading to long-term depletion. We'e turning forests into paper, chopsticks, toothpicks, buildings, faster than new trees can grow. We are pulling mountains of fish out of the oceans, and there aren't many fish left. But if we stop overconsumption of resources, all capitalist economies must die. We need to create an economy that can do with less.

[n310ea]

@elfboi523 Actually the natural resources are being preserved for the most part, because some people pay their bills online instead of writing paper checks because it's convenient, some people use dental floss instead of tooth picks because they have a tight gap between their teeth, some buildings are built with steel or concrete instead of wood because of the risk of termites, and some people don't eat meat because of their religion.

[jokerisnomak]

@n310ea financial institutions who don't produce ANYTHING but sell and buy debt are the ones who buy our politicians and make our governments help them over the 99%

[Mulligan71991]

@n310ea I agree, the annoying thing is, in Germany they really don't get these benefits. I mean the rich are taxed sooo much more in Germany than in the US. The tax system there is just way fairer like it has been made in ireland. I don't even get why they are protesting outside the ECB. The ECB told Greece to stop tax evasion, and Italy to tax the rich properly, and neither have pulled through. That bank is far much more on the side of the average european person than the "Crony Capitalists"...

[Ohmarski]

@n310ea ...still capitalism without limitation, nor any law limiting its monopoly.

[n310ea]

@Ohmarski The only way a private company would become a monopoly and rule the lives of the public is if it gets bailouts from the government, that's called Crony Capitalism, it's when government works with private companies, giving them sweetheart deals, that's why our taxes are so high, it's corruption! The government needs to stay out of the economy, no deals!! so we can have a competitive free market.

[n310ea]

@Ohmarski If the government regulates and controls everything, then the government itself becomes a monopoly.

Wer die Bewegung nicht versteht gehört entweder zu den 1% oder ist blind oder schon ganz verloren.

[RuBbErRoOmChAoS]

Some of the messages are off track but this is a bud that may grow into a beautiful flower.Give it time! The occupation has just begun in all these other cities.Everyones voice must be heard but atleast it isn't a giant corporation stuffing billfolds into our supposed representatives pockets.Give it time!

[Music2Phone]

Since when was the goal of these rallies to destroy capitalism? I thought it was to get our government back and out of the hands of corporations. The corporations were able to do that due to repeals of laws that we had in place to prevent this from happening. It is not inherently capitalism's fault. Fuck you, socialist bastard trying to destroy capitalism.

[AnimalJihad23]

@Music2Phone

In Germany the term "capitalism" is only used by people who hate it. The term "socialism" is only used by people who like it. It is quite the opposite of the US situation. Think for a moment if there is a reason for that.

[PostBox12345]

... and the news of the united states has mean it so nobody can see what´s going on. But we found a way to get past that to show the world what´s going on.

So we can all occupy all of the city. So we can get our planet back.

They dried to stop us from spreading the word but they can´t and they won´t. We are the 99 percent. We will spread the word that capitalism is a fucked up system. That is destroying us that is destroying our planet. ...

Man, the 99% are a dumb as shit.
