Inequality education and resouces theory

[The Rapparee]

I beleive that the people do not support our cause due to the fact the Capitalist systems manipulate them. People do not question until you take away their playstation or fast food. Take them away then the people get unhappy and wonder why. With this in place the government can get away with murder. It just makes me sick to see poeple in ethiopia who don't know they are unequal to someone in the UK. People should question and rise up. Starvation only occurs due to Multi nationals exploiting LEDCs. If you want to put it that way.

My theory is that Democracy only exists if scarce resources such as oil,coal and gas survive. Take this away then the fuel to the economy stops and you have alot of unhappy people. No Eletrcity, No Cars imagine it absolute anarchy. Then there will be be a utopia when people rise up against the stupid system. God if only I could be alive to see it happen. You only have to look at Iraq to see how prescious the oil is.
What do you guys think or ladies if their are any that I'm not aware of.

Will unhappy people turn to communism? or happy?
To me it is unhappy, therefore we must exploit the opportunity and show the world that capitalism is fucked

I think that people in Capitalist countries realize that they are so much more fortunate than people in the rest of the world, but don't appreciate it (partially because they haven't really been exposed to anything). One thing to try is kind of Douglass-esque, a sort of transatlantic busing system. People from Ethiopia, etc. could go to schools in rich areas and speak about their experiences and men and women from the US or UK could go to Ethiopia as volunteers with food or educational programs. This kind of approach has worked before.

The reason communism & socialism are hated is the same reason that Americans have such high ethnocentrisim--because of simple propaganda. If we are to have a revolution soon we must either infilitrate the mass media and become noticed or take away this media and shatter their system of propaganda. This is why the events of 9/11/01 are our enemy. Because they promote all these things to an extreme level and make out existance very unoticable and people even react violently to us.

I don't think the reason "people react violently" to you and your worldview is ignorance. On the contrary that majority of people that have nothing but disdain for you are astute enough to recognize that your proposing a twisted world view. The perversity of which can clearly be seen in your evaluation of the events of sept. 11.

To you the catastrophe that took place in NY is not bad because it ended in the sudden and brutal death of thoU$Ands. Rather these event's are your "enemy" because they set back your ideological goals.

[9mm Rebel]

At some point in any revolution in the U$A, the media will -have- to be infiltrated, whether its nation-wide, or just local, the people must learn the truth, and going door to door wont cut it.

I can safely say that at least %80, probably more, of the people in the U$ think that communism is 'evil'. I honestly thought communism was related to hitler, and genocide and all that bad stuff, before I starting getting educated about it (still early in the process).

People have to be educated about communism, the same way their being falsely educated about capitalism, thru the mass media. IF OPRAH SAYS ITS TRUE, THEN BY GOD IT MUST BE TRUE. *rolls eyes*

So first we smash the fuck outta BBC, then we wreak havoc in the UK, then we reopen the bbc, renaming it the peoples channel

i would rant about the inadequacies of every one of the people who have posted in this threads world views, but i am a bit tired after a massive slanging match with my father...

[Dreadnaht1]

HardcoreCommie, I was referring to the events in the perspective of the revolution. It's not like I feel good about the thoU$Ands (well stated) who were killed. They were people afterall, wether they were guilty or not. Allthough I think that these events were horrific in many ways and that they are very important I also feel that they are not as important as the events in Afghanistan. Lots more of lives are being lost there and these are very innocent lives for the most part. And these lives are being lost on a daily basis without any care or sympathy what so ever.

by having inequalities, the freemasons (am i right?) keep the masses down

The only way to infiltrate this country is by acting normally and joining Labour and make yourself PM. Then you go wacko and take over dictatorship style.

Hey raparee, in response to your original question:

Of course I'm a lady. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Second, I take issue with you talking about "Our Cause" because I hope you refer to either "your cause" (SF) or something else because US, we are here to keep Che's memory alive, I was not aware this website has another cause.

Third, you leap to the conclusion that the multinationals are somehow at fault (as opposed to governments, centuries of colonialism, brutal local tribalism, currupt individuals)

And Fourth, I'm not sure we are clear of a definition of happines or unhappiness for an Ethiopian.

Addressing the last point, happiness for an ethiopian may be a dry bed, food to eat, medicine, and feedom of religion. Our western definition of happiness is so screwed up even I am at a loss to describe it anymore. If we define happiness as a new pair of Nikes and a big car, I think we are going no-where.

Now the multinationals: again, I think a lot of people have dated information about the role of mulitnationals in the third world (and I are one, I mean I work for one)

In recent years countries have passed laws that prevent profits from being repatriated. That means that whatever Texaco makes in Nigeria, stays in Nigeria. Leaving aside the ecological damage of oil drilling, because we could equally be talking about the manufacture of underpants for Marks and Spencer here, I have a hard time concluding that the multinationals are doing anby harm whatsoever in the third world and in fact are providing economic boost so desparately needed.

Just me, you can click me off now.

BTW, is there a cause? I'm just here to learn. My cause is raising my kids and leaving a legacy.
