Austerity for Whom????

(10PM EST – promoted by Nightprowlkitty)

I was talking to a Venezuelan citizen yesterday on Twitter. My regular mailing from the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the U.S.had a link to Hugo Chavez new Twitter account. Apparently, he actually answers a lot of people, and all tweets are by him personally. I perused it, and it was in Spanish, so I made a request for an English version.

Negrita Bella and I discussed what needs to happen here from her point of view, for us to have any success in the People’s Movement. We agreed (and I have LONG OPINED) that it has to start one way: Unionizing the Workers.

Then I was perusing the Right wing’s sites for their reaction to the recent EU bailout, and got an eyeful.

You see, they think its the People who DESERVE austerity for daring to ask for humane and equitable conditions from the Elites above.

 You see, the Right thinks its the fault of those damned socialist workers who expeced too much, not the Elites that were gambling with their futures in OUR very manipulated casino. How do these people see it like the only system that is workable is exploitation capitalism? Why do they assume that workers who expect some kind of parity DESERVE a comeuppance, yet the Uber-rich class deserve continuing unrestricted profits? However did they get so brainwashed against themselves?

High Taxes, leveraged to the hilt social programs and a pampered, retire early, safty net writ large nanny state……falling under its own weight.  Talk about Moral Hazard.  Oh but the government cooked the books and played fast and loose with Credit Default Swaps etc. Yep but that’s not the genesis of the problem.

Like Communism, this kind of society is doomed to fail..as you’re seeing.  

Why were they rioting?  Government had to cut their benefits and pay.  The 1/3 of Greeks who work for some part of local or national government.  Massive strikes, riots.

Bush’s TARP sent money to the top (who never missed a 5 course, white gloved meal served on their yacht) at the expense of the people at the bottom, who were losing their homes and are still moving into homeless camps, and they called it “a good plan.” Now, any bailout for those “socialist countries” who do evils like have Free Health care, and they demonize it because some of it may trickle down to the actual PEOPLE!

Maybe, the average neo-con is just brainwashed to be self-loathing enough, or deluded enough to think they are one break away from joining that upper echelon, but the ideas they are fed? PURE EVIL.



It accepts the supposition that the wealthy are entitled by some inherent superiority to keep all the excesses they have accrued, no matter how they accrued them, at the many’s expense.

It accepts the supposition that the masses are to be denied the things the wealthy take for granted, because of some inherent inferiority and that only they must make sacrifices so the wealthy-oriented system will still function with them as the cash crop.

That is what we are, you know. A cash crop.

The riots are coming here. It is inevitable. Hungry, homeless people with nothing left to lose, get enraged in the face of billion-dollar a year bonuses for those who created the hell in which the masses live. They revolt.

I offer NO APOLOGY whatsoever for my stance:

A system based on feudalism, elites and wage-slaves as its basis is EVIL. It is caste system. It is slavery. It is economic apartheid.

I am pragmatic. I am a realist. There is no way on hell that a 3rd party could convince enough people under the current conditions to make an iota of a difference in ANY general election. Not with the Owned Media in place.

The government, and its mouthpiece media is OWNED by the Corporate Elites. It is fascism; fascism protected by the best surveillance, disinformation campaign and cruelest technology available in history. Who needs to light fires and burn a Sherman’s march to the sea, ruining valuable property when a good plague or neutron bomb will do? Surely THAT will keep the sheep in their pens, should it come to it. (& who knows, this last swine flu scare may have just been to create a flase sense of security for when they loose the real plague; and ensure only the government-loyal will take the shot)

They have a whole contingent of brainwashed brownshirts to help them keep us (and the ignorant brownshorts themselves) down and in our place.

Elections are no longer the answer. The ONLY answer I can see is widespread strikes – we have to realize we are their very CURRENCY; nay we have to remind THEM we are their very currency!

That is only a beginning. It will only give us concessions.

What really needs to happen, is to wake the people to their power, and take it the FUCK back.

Those damned socialist only failed because we lured them into our capitalist trap and set it on them. Now our Elites see it as a way to destroy their Socialism and profit from a series of Shock Doctrine jams to their system. “Privatize, let us do it for you, Trust us…”



What we need to do is look to our South, and to create coalitions with those who refuse to join the ranks of the Capitalist Pigs bent on greed and destruction.

It is time for a Worker’s Party – a Union of all Workers.

That will only happen when the Austerity begins here…. for the Elites will never suffer themselves any Austerity whatsoever.

Not until we pry it from their cold dead hands.

Viva la resistance!
