There is nothing like a loud vocal mass of insurgent minded people determined to let be known their discontentment with the current state of affairs. Millions of people around the world resisted the call for the Iraq war II. I could not make it ti NY, so I found one in Philly. It was just word of mouth, but 10,000 people (Media estimate) marched and chanted down Broad St., around City Hall, then around the Federal building. I walked in-between three nuns and two Viet Nam Marines, with hippies, suits, black and white all around. On that day Globalization had a new meaning. In one audible voice Millions around the world said NO, This is wrong!
Of course the gears of corporate interest were already moving and no peaceable demonstration on Earth would stop them.
Now, we can choose to be a voice in the wilderness, or a force to be wrecked with. The institutions of power in this country (USA) have build ramparts to keep the will of the people from having any impact on the lobbiest/corporate run legislature. It is clear to all who bother to pay attention, they will not hear you! The time has come to create a world in an image of justice liberty and Egality, and that task lies on our shoulders. We cannot depend on the current system to facilitate a just and fair society.
I propose a strategy. Start a new organization. A Peoples Liberation Army of The United States of America (Or place your country here). Not an army of just guns and revolt, but a multinational collaboration if individuals to assist the poor, aid the sick, house the homeless, ad infinitum. The goal is to create the Communal world that we all dream, here at the Revolutionary Left at least. I see dark days ahead. I see a corporate backed theocracy in the future. We need to offer a real alternative. A brother/sisterhood needs to rise from the ashes of the crumbled remains of "Of, by and for the people."
