greetings to all the brothers that fight by a better world, against that wild Capitalism greetings from PERU

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

capitalism is a "financial assets" , an asset is a quality by which and advantage is gained

capitalism started in 1800's when industries realized that better machines, roads, skilled labors could increase extraction of resources and faster manufacturing thus increasing profits

capitalism has nothing to do with power structure, the problem is MONOPOLY by which control of a market makes the people subservient to your demands

stop watching the news and try to read a book now and then

Bloody middle class so called activists who know nothing about the real world. People should know that the organisers of these protests went to public schools like Eton and are from a very privaliged background. The same goes for the leaders of the SWP and all other so called workers movements. These people will stop fighting the system once they "grow up".
