The First Manifesto of the Wall Street Protesters!

"As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known..."

Probably my favorite video Stef

I love this video and the simplicity of the solution. Put down the guns! Beautifully said. Unfortunately, because people are stuck inside their own construct of reality they can't imagine that people can be peaceful without them. But when you think about it you see the irony of the situation and ultimately, that is the true answer.

@Illyrien So you agree that government is essential? Or do you think it isn't needed?

[munkyusm]

@piecemaster2000 Did you learn from it? Or are you still brainwashed all the time?

[piecemaster2000]

@munkyusm I have been brainwashed by manipulative psychology to buy things that I don't need. Happy?

[pauloscum]

@munkyusm obv there wont be a perminant solution but however the admiralty the keepers of the statute`who serve the corperations were beaten last time in the courts by common law under the treaty of magna carta, every1 basically became a lawyer and tied them up in knots which infuriated them!!! this is how america gained independence for a few decades, they will always try to come back though, they always do!!!

[pauloscum]

@munkyusm well the bank obviously cant be seen to be the state!!!! they obv arent supposed to be and if everybody realises they are there are big problems both with common law and angry mobs, as we are starting to see, notice how obama has to be seen to be the 99% to some extent, so we acomplish things by very publicly asking for matters rectified to the interests of the people who do technically hold more lawful power than the president much to the banks annoyance

@44mst

You must have read me wrong. Anyways, that was a pretty crappy argument. Seriously, it can be do much better

[munkyusm]

@js7un I was in the same boat as you not long ago. I found anarchism to sound insane until I really had to read ALOT of stuff to understand how this type of world would actually work. It's the greatest thing I ever did. Once you understand how fundamentally different the world would be, you quickly realize how insane the world we live in is. I urge you, educate yourself! Stick with setfbot's youtube page for starters.

@piecemaster2000 Please tell me you've actually been brainwashed by "manipulative psychology" to buy things....
