Forum Post: Clearly stated goals or demands

Glad to see people finally getting motivated about doing something. Seems most of the ideas presented by this social change movement focus on the symptom not the actual problem. Huge monopolistic corporations, corrupt politicians, banks are all just a symptom of a larger problem. Most of you would say that problem is capitalism, which still doesn’t do enough to identify the problem. Capitalism as the problem is much too vague. What specifically about capitalism could be causing the problem? Can anyone answer that one?

What allows corporations to monopolize? Corrupts politicians? Do you think human beings are born greedy? Or are they maybe conditioned to be this way by our fantasy of an economic system? I would place my bet on the latter.

Seems nobody has a plan or even half a plan of what they are trying to accomplish. You say you hate capitalism and want to take back our country, but what will you replace capitalism with? The sooner someone comes up with a halfway coherent replacement of fiat currency capitalism, the sooner change will come. Here’s an idea:

How about publicly stating a goal such as this:

The abolition of commericial banks and usury and the formation of a congressional bank that makes incremental loans to people interest free by contract of law. The loans start out small and grow with each person’s ability to pay them back.

And to anyone who wants to counter this argument by saying" Who will be willing to lend out money at zero percent interest." Nobody should be payed interest on money that is printed out of thin air, and especially not payed interest on money they don't have to begin with! (Fractional reserve banking). Not to delude myself, but I completely destroy this argument logically in my book under the chapter ""Risk", the destroyer of facts". In fact, I think it is only appropriate that I post that chapter here to clear up any bullshit that might popup. Yes, the 99 percent are intimidated and just agree to false truth, or whatever illogical cockamamey idea a banker can come up with to justify charging interest on money they don't have. People need to collectively stop believing it. We did it before with the final rejection of the "devine right of kings", and we will likely do it again.

The problem really isn’t our government design. It is the means by which that gov has to operate, namely fiat currency. As long as money is backed by nothing, measuring nothing but our delusion of how much labor or product is worth, we will always wind up with recessions, depressions and angry starving people. If we back currency with time, however, you would not see these bubbles. Trouble is, people in America would have to voluntarily stop being delusional about price and use time as a measurement of value. I’m not sure they are ready to stop being delusional.
