Capitalism (synonymous with usury) is an extraordinarily efficient form of violence by which one does the most damage with the least effort. It captures and debases all the things we humans value. Can we not resist its malevolent definitions of terms? Demand real democracy, real money, real freedom and real power. ""Power concedes nothing without a demand." So we must demand power, the power to create real money debt-free for the common needs of people. As David Spero writes: "The economic face of fascism is called neoliberalism, a school of economics that advocates full freedom for finance capital and massive restriction of government support for working people." I refuse to call their fascism Democracy and will challenge anyone who does. We live under a centuries old plutocracy that needs to be disempowered by taking its money power away. As Frederick Soddy wrote in 1934, "To allow money to become a source of revenue to private issuers is to create, first, a secret and illicit arm of the government and, last, a rival power strong enough ultimately to overthrow all other forms of government." This is where we are.

Are we all just Gaza waiting our turn to be crushed? Or are we a species awakening from this nightmare that no longer tolerates paying for its own slavery and destruction of the world. monetaryalliance.org
