    Default Chilean Activist Burns $500 Million Worth of Student Debt

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014...tml?1400340444

    This popped up on my newsfeed this morning and made my day. I see this as a genuinely revolutionary action and a signal flare to agitate for a better future. Thoughts?

    “How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
    "In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

    Apparently this particular university had been closed for two years after being accused of fraud. All of these students in these debt papers were still being forced to pay to this essentially dead institution on threat of legal action.

    If this gentleman has actually accomplished what he claims to have accomplished, he should be hailed as a hero.

    ending student loan debt would be a good start. cancelling public and corporate debt everywhere would bring down capitalism.

    This is just more proof that the "Socialist" President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, is only serving the bourgeois-capitalist interests in Chile under a social democratic banner.
