=============================================

FREE-THINKERS, HYPERBOREANS, BUILDERS OF THE FUTURE,

We are Anonymous.

First and foremost, we would like to congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts: What we, Anonymous, the people, have accomplished in just give or take 10 months, has exceeded even our wildest aspirations and our most endearing dreams. Yes indeed: we had gambled on more than we could hope for - and yet we have been able to harvest even more. This in itself is already a tiny miracle, and can only make one feel humbled towards the virtually limitless potential and capabilities of our collective self: the hive.

However, it is of the utmost importance to keep in mind that this is only the beginning of the struggle we have chosen to pick up. While we now have occupied the planet, so far we have only taken our starting grounds - a great and difficult task still lies ahead of us: we now have to create the principles and procedures that we want our new world to be organized upon - and we have to do it swiftly, so as to take the old world by surprise. We will have to externalize the hivemind and re-conceptualize it into the real-life reality of a truly direct, participatory democracy - and we have to do it before the old world sees the chance to 'recuperate' our 'movement' and lull the masses back to sleep.

This means we will have to set up new institutions today - according to the principles of the world we want tomorrow. We will have to create and BE a new world while the old world has not yet fully withered away. For true greatness is only achieved by they who don't ask for permission - and true freedom is not something that can be given or bestowed upon us - it can only be occupied, conquered, taken up and be (re)claimed.

This means we will have to make ourselves as independent and autonomous from the old world as in any way imaginable. However, we can only do this if all of us cooperate and work and share together: Set up local general assemblies and start organizing your community. Withdraw your money from the banks and - if possible - start investing in local cooperative initiatives that will be able to provide the needs of your local community. Start producing life-necessities, energy and consumer-goods in local cooperatives as much as realistically possible, and stop buying these products from the large multinationals that have monopolized our so-called 'free markets'. Start cooperative initiatives to supply your local community with public services and work out alternative ways of grass roots job creation and the local creation of 'wealth'.

Be creative! Share! Experiment! Improvise! And profit! But most of all: don't give up! It is true that a lot of good work has already been done, but so much more is cautiously showing it's silhouette at the horizon. We, Anonymous, the people, pledge to make it real...

Now show the world some loving - and be Anonymous!

You are expected.

  • Dirty butthole

  • nice

  • @masonkmurphy Learn better your history and found out that we NEVER changed systems at all before, we simply modified old ones and thus repeated the same mistakes over and over again......circular movement....

    No. If we want to break this viscous circle one and for all, we must do things differently: prepare FIRST and then ACT......otherwise the only thing you accomplish is to repeat the same token victory that always leads back to failure.

  • @hubby564 Historically speaking a new system comes after the old one is torn down. Quite hard to build a building where one already exists. Doesn't hurt to have a plan already prepared. And you are quite right a kinetic revolution ends up in the same spot, and often a political one does as well. Grass is greener on the other side? Aristotle describes political revolution as a change from one constitution to a new one. Or the modification of an old one to a new form.

  • @masonkmurphy LOL! looks like you open your mouth without even reading or thinking: I do far more than any of you. Any imbecile can plant a tent and think that he/she achieve anything. I work on a system to replace completely the entire system (evolution); cause in case you didnt figured it out: what is the use to do anything if it is to continue with the same system? (revolution: circular movement that brings you exactly where you started)

    commonsens's den.

  • @avocadodesu News flash: amendments have been demanded for the past 30 years......wake up!

  • @ThePhotonconcepts : The ONLY momentum it create is a momentum from the system to justify MORE police measures. ALL sites are this morning been evicted with courts injunctions: the only reaction to this action.

    This is NO fight, it is a JOKE. If you REALLY want to fight, then occupy parliament or whatever seat of government and be ready to use FORCE to stay, prevent them to enter or exit; but do so WITH CLEAR DEMANDS and an agenda.

  • @hubby564 Actually, the People's Rights Amendment has been suggested and have passed through to be looked at by the top. Shit will hit the fan soon.

  • @hubby564 This VIDEO and many others like it have built MOMENTUM. Momentum in the OTHER direction. There needs to be a revolution before the re-evolution. Keep TRYING. Don't BE NEGATIVE. We have to KEEP TRYING. I'm thinking it will get worse before it gets better, BUT IT WILL GET BETTER IF WE KEEP DOING THINGS LIKE THIS. KEEP GOING. The hardest fight is the one in front of us.
