Let me Take you Down: Debtocracy

Human beings are not good or bad... they are running, forever changing compositions of the life experience(s) that influence them. The "quality" of a human being ( if there was such a thing ) is directly related to the upbringing and thus belief systems they have been conditioned into.This simple reality has been grossly overlooked and today people primitively think that competition, greed and corruption are "hardwired" elements of human behavior and, in turn, we must have prisons, police and hence a hierarchy of differential control in order for society to deal with these "tendencies". This is totally illogical and false.

«…Η ελευθερία χωρίς σοσιαλισμό είναι προνόμιο και αδικία και ο σοσιαλισμός χωρίς ελευθερία είναι υποδούλωση και βαρβαρότητα…».

«...Είμαστε επίσης εχθροί της πατριαρχικής και νομικής εξουσίας των συζύγων πάνω στις γυναίκες, των γονέων πάνω στα παιδιά και αυτό επειδή η ιστορία μας διδάσκει ότι ο δεσποτισμός στην οικογένεια είναι το σπέρμα του πολιτικού δεσποτισμού στο κράτος…»

Μιχαήλ Μπακούνιν, 1875

"We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness-embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television. This would seem to lead to a simple conclusion: that we all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas."

Howard Zinn, 2005
