Partido X chats with Occupy Wall Street: Revolutionary Innovation Happening Now in Spain!

As European parliamentary elections approach in May, a revolutionary citizen network in Spain is emerging to challenge the business as usual approach to electoral politics.

Under the banner of the Partido X: a Citizen Network, a new project conceived around the 15M constellation, the people are putting together a new structure for political participation that seeks to channel the 99%’s thirst for meaningful action, while at the same time undermining the corrosive grip traditional political parties have had in Spain over the last decades.

This should be on the front page

Taking over the media and Hollywood, boobie trapped politics, now hijacking the internet. The people who are organizing this position of power are franticly sealing the deal on eliminating free speech because that's our only weapon against them.

They don’t want independent communities and free education; they want capitalism and mass distribution. They want to control the information and indoctrinate us into their view of reality, conditioning people into a slave machine that supports their own, greed driven authority.

Stop the madness. Unite. Consolidate your efforts into a laser that can preform surgery. This is a crime against humanity and we have got to stop them. With impending climate change who knows what's too late. Please, I'm begging you.

control the information

I don't think that mass communication will ultimately be controlled

It is by nature projected, relayed and divergent

regarding the mass, it already has been.

Disagree, as the two parties have worked amazing well together to enact the agenda that has brought us to this point.

"People are fed up. They are fed up with the political parties, they are fed up [with] economic policies that serve the rich. They're fed up with not having a voice. It's time for people to beat the Party System at their own game," says Partido X.

Our country is more ready for a third political party than it has been in a very long time. Look at the approval ratings of Congress and the President. "Culture awakening" though is another matter admittedly, and it is not as far along as as most of us would like. But with the emergence of a new party that has an appeal to a broad swath of our people who can clearly see the huge inadequacies of our current system, well that development in itself will further that 'awakening.'

A lot has transpired since Nader ran for President, and as we both know, most of it has not been good. The growth of discontent in this country which is not being covered in the MSM can fuel the evolution of a third viable party that specifically addresses most people's concerns. The time is right.

The exploitation of people which is part of Capitalism went unoticed by most of us in the white middle-class, but for the more vulnerable in our World...people of color, poor people and people in far-off lands their bleeding was omnipresent. 'We' are now feeling what they have felt for a long time as an emboldened and a more deleterious form of Capitalism now besets on us.

The first step is always the hardest. The people of Seattle took a chance as did the people of your home-state of Vermont. So too must the people of this country.

The DIFFERENCE!! Bernie and Ms Sawant are not members of the corrupted two parties, hence they tell it like it is. They are as likely to lambaste Democrats as they are Republicans. By choice, neither of them are adept at playing the game that ensures our stagnation.

Yes of course I agree with the fact that Bernie is "adept" at his job of being a true people's rep... And I have nothing but respect for him and Ms Sawant for telling it like it is especially when those truths do not conform to what the corrupt status quo perpetuates.

Without wanting to get into a semantecs duel with you, I would not attribute the word, "sophistication" so much to Bernie's "decision making process" in regards to his "criticisms of the current administration." Rather words and phrases like 'empathy for the people's plight,' 'honesty,' and especially the word 'courageous' come to mind when he takes on any of the other politicians who answer to the corrupt status quo.

As much as I love and respect both Sanders and Sawant, Occupy has accomplished far more in it's short existence than all the courageous politicians combined working within the system. It's just they have their job, and we in Occupy have our jobs and not having like MO's is advantageous, not a detriment in this Revolution for a more just World. In any event, it should not necessarily be our aim to emulate each other's methods of operation, but rather supporting each other, as is happening now!

When people get nasty with me as YOU have done, I do not listen to their arguments. I would suggest that you spend less time on here and more time in confronting your personal issues.

I hope that you find it as "entertaining" as I find it amusing how anyone who disagrees with you is labeled as being "ignoran[t]." It has not gone unnoticed by me what good company I have both here in the Virtual and out there in the Real World. It should kinda make you wunder 'ol learned one.

Very interesting project... building a new society that truly reflects how an intelligent civilization should look like would need a creative and effective way to govern itself in a truly representative way.

[-] -1 points by DHFabian (3) 10 years ago

Who would have representation? The proverbial "masses," the poor and middle class, were deeply pitted against each other. The jobless poor have been "disappeared" from liberal media since the 1990s. What would an "intelligent society" do about those who can't work, due to health or circumstances, and those for whom there simply are no jobs?

Could it not be possible that the coherent construction of a revolutionary convention would place the situation in a sensible context? Any honest comprehensive depiction of the oppression, inequality, unfairness and the rigidity of the status quo leads already to a clear understanding of the situation. Some able entity needs to begin to start to put flesh upon the bones already visible of the necessary curative solution. Once that task is defined, apart from the protest process, the next phase will come to life. Formal protest has been proven beatable by the elite. All that's required now is a public definition of the People's next step. This has been obvious, but remains so, and becomes more so every day.
