Get rid of the governments... Freedom from domination!

Another world is possible; beyond capitalism and patriarchy. Free of classes, oppression, greed for profit, and imperialist wars!

DIRECT DEMOCRACY & free education for all. Production under the control of the organised workers, neighbourhood councils, political participation, and LAICISM without compromise.

"Socialism or barbarism?" (Rosa Luxemburg)

It's a long and stony way but worth to go. Make a first step... and don't repeat history!

"The fascist party there, they call themselves "Social Democrats"..." Hudson rocks ;)...

@neodeville what consequences and how do you know?

[RainbowConure]

I strongly disagree with him calling the government right wing. I'm right wing and I would never help crooked banks. They're not right wing. They're just crooks.

@AtlanticCross1 I have yet to figure out why Europe is allowing such mass immigration of muslims and America is allowing such mass immigration of Mexicans. This is not going to work for much longer and is going to have some sever social consequences very soon.

Dear people of the world. I want to apologize for what my country, the Divided States of America, has done to the rest of the world. Take note to what the love of money will do to your society if you let yourselves become like us.

@A1R5N1P3R There was actually one guy over here that handed the keys of his house to the bank because he couldn't pay (because of skyrocketing loans or something)...

...then he partially demolished the house with an excavator.

@AtlanticCross1 Icelanders are hard working people and they deserve a high standard of living. But, it is as if you are saying that the third world and the charity is having a huge affect on the economy; while we know that the root problem concerning the banks can be traced to individuals and corporations from industrial world.Some people are dying from starvation in the world as we speak; you are not just being insensitive but contributing to their suffering.

[AtlanticCross1]

@yazid341  I see you have no problem with Iceland giving money to Third World at the expense of their own people.

[yazid341]

@AtlanticCross1 First, I hope Icelanders get over this hardship.Why are you so against Iceland still giving charity and aid to the third world. You're probably not even Icelandic. I don't understand you people, you colonized and raped the third world, and when someone decent comes to help despite going through hardship, you criticize him. yeah, somebody selfish like you will probably not help Iceland if the volcano erupts. We in the third world would welcome them in our homes.

I laughed when he said that 300.000 had moved from Iceland to Norway. It would leave about 20.000 icelanders left on Iceland xD

[AtlanticCross1]

People of Iceland today are experiencing hard times because the people have to pay for the bailout, and what does their government do, makes matters worse by sending enormous sums overseas to third world that the people also have to pay for. And if Katla Volcano erupts, what will happen and who will help Icelands people, no one, Icelands people will be left holding the bag once again, while their leaders fly to a safe country with their families while everyone else is left with Katla's eruption.
