« Le motif de la résistance, » writes Hessel, « c’est indignation. » Therefore, “we, veterans of the Resistance movements and the Free French Forces, we call upon the younger generations to revive, to pass on, the heritage of the Resistance and its ideas. We tell them: take over, indignez-vous! Get angry! Our political, economic and intellectual leaders and society as a whole should not stand down, nor let themselves be impressed by the present international dictatorship of the financial markets, which is threatening our peace and democracy.”

this experiment in democracy has come to a close. it is time to take control of all aspects of our lives again, and begin to live in dignity. so that there are no restrictions and nothing is impossible to acomplish. it is time to once again take control of all aspects of how we live, how we organise ourselves socially and of our identity. and the current system. just lets ignoreit. all of it. and one day there will be a few unemployed politicians walking around the empty corridores of their ministries talking to the flies.
the world IS ours, its not perfect, so lets not make it harder to live in than it already is.

that the world is run, basically by 'professional' politicians and different lobies is proposterous. the world and its different regional identities are not companies to be run bty proffessionals, but by those that want to really discuss things and work vocationally, together because they dream of better things, and better ways to do things. because they have a real interest, a passion and dreams of a wonderful future. its on this power that we should run. and decide for ourselves things like what fuels do we want to use.. how we want food to be grown.. how to turn human existance on this plantet into a symbiosis with the rest of life.

its a time to reflect on what it is that we want. how to kae that possible and act on it. and to hell with anyone that tells you otherwise. it is also a time for respect and accepting that the world is violent and injust as well. theres no need for these large international governing bodies deciding for the rest of us what we can do and how it has to be done. there should be a restructuring of the whole of human society and global consciousness. the world belongs to all yet we should and must defend the part we are caring for.

ownership of land is another thing to tackle, personaly i dont believe anything (land) belongs to anyone.. you simply paid for the privelage to tend to a part of something that belongs to all of humanity and all other living things. it can be used i guess but never abused of nor destroyed for personal profit. people should be able to decide directly on what goes on in their neighbourhood, village, street, tribe, whatever social structure aplies... they should reposess and defend as theirs against anything they feel is too obtrusive. yet there should be respect as well.

so the lessons we are learnign here in the placa de catalunya, the debates and descussions we have to take to out neighbourhoods, we have to get together there at that level and restructure ourselves. and totally ignore everything fromt his government that we no longer believe in. political parties have to be abolished. they become like football clubs run for profit by economic interests. our representatives have to be just that.. people from our own particular social network, our tribe, our neighbourhood. who we trust.

there should be no extra benefits for being a politician, you are one of us. therefore equal in every way. and the way we from here on decide to restructure ourselves should be adaptable and fluid. so that it doesnt become locked down ito a system that will one day decay, but rather one that can change and grow and create a globally diverse network of differences. each free to flower at will.

probably then, and only then will we have a true global union. of course conflict, war, and crime are something to be expected. its natural and if you thinkabout it, that day you were in the field watching the birds and the insects, the trees and the flowers blossoming, you were in the middle of a battlefield. the world and all of life is constantly at war all around us.. but these thing can be dealt with as they arise. crimes punished, reperations made.. as i said societies will naturally create equilibriums between themselves..

and this hole notion that we all depend on economical growth.. or financial greed as i like it better is illusional.. WE dont need it. the banks and coorporations need it. the IMF needs it, the central banks need it, the polititians to stay in power need it.. the people dont.
and we shouldnt forget something really important. and that is taht for something to grow it has to be fed.. and the way to do that is to rape and pillage the planet for proffit, you have to go out and take something which doesnt belong to you to make a real profit..
there really really is no need ...

all it takes is becoming involved. so once again become a member of a free people. take over. discuss and dream. let nothing hold you back and let no one tell you that that which you want is utopic or impossible. discuss and get informed about the world around you. let your ideas flourish.
a total dismantling of civilisation as we know it is not necessary, we still need doctors, and judges, and some form of policing as well. people are still needed for these jobs. but what i am suggesting is a compolete restructuring of how all these different parts of society relate to each other are organised and maintained. we are not machines or robots. we cant live socially as machines. let the humaness in each of us thrive and burn and drive us forward. as individual cells in a large body that is life.

the whole of the planet belongs to everyone.. i mean when did we earn the right to carve up our floating rock for profit? this amazing lump of stone that floats around what is basically a nucliar explosion in space. on it is something called life. we are a part of it.. one of natures amazing experiments... somewhere along the line we ideologically elevated ourselves to something higher than what we really are.. we began to imagine ourselves as made in gods images... demigods, lords of everything. and because of this change in human consciousness. we began to act acordingly.
we are not demigods, we are animans and everything we do to our rock has a consequence.
