REVOLUTIONARIES: THE BEST WAY TO TEAR DOWN THE SYSTEM IS TO BUILD SOMETHING NEW



Eric Blair
Activist Post

February 9, 2012


Due to gross injustices built into the current system, angry mobs of disenfranchised protesters are pushing most of the world to the edge of global revolution.

It's wonderful to see people find solidarity in opposing the destructive nature of the system.

However, the idea that the public will ever force the entrenched corporate-states around the world to bend to their will because they're on the streets is very unlikely.  Even if the protests become violent riots like in Greece, the controllers will not release their clutches.  In fact, history says they'll only tighten them.

Additionally, those seeking systematic solutions all seem well-intentioned and deserve credit for offering ideas.  But the more we understand that the system's creators and beneficiaries don't want it to change, the more we realize that even apparent solutions will never take place unless they're co-opted to fit the needs of the controllers.  

Therefore, so-called collective solutions forced by the current system of control are not likely to benefit the general public even if it appears that more crumbs are offered to the peasants.

There seems to be an awful lot of energy being spent fighting against the system, which is akin to swimming upstream.

We're getting nowhere fast and it's zapping our energy, as it seems intended to do.  

We mustn't concern ourselves with what other people are doing. Their behavior is and always will be out of our control.  Attempting to control people's behavior is at the heart of what's wrong with the current system; therefore, why would we think that imposing our flavor of control would taste any better?  It won't.

What if each of us focused our energy on figuratively building our own rafts to float against the current?

What if each raft represented a productive individual solution?  
And what would happen if each disenfranchised protester stopped demanding something, and, instead, simply started creating the change?
I'm not talking about solutions like drafting a petition or a certain piece of legislation and collecting signatures to influence government. That is the perfect example of swimming upstream.  Even if successful, it will just use the guns of government to force your ideas on the public, which will never work no matter how noble your collective solution may seem.

I'm talking about taking a systematic problem that you're most passionate about, identifying a change you can make in your personal life to limit your contribution to the problem, while also finding a tangible alternative to fully support.  

Ideally, this tangible alternative would be market-based to allow you to make a living while being the change you wish to see in the world.

For example, if you're passionate about clean energy as part of the solution, don't waste time railing against dirty energy.  Focus on what you can do in your own life. Limit your use of dirty energy, install solar panels on your house, start an alternative energy blog or business, organize an energy cooperative for your community to become cleaner and more self-sufficient, or all of the above.

If enough people took to this initiative on their own terms, the diversity of action would destroy the current energy paradigm much faster than holding a sign and screaming about nuclear energy, oil cartels, or safer working conditions for coal miners.

Or, if you oppose corporate farming and factory food production, don't just spend all of your time informing people as to the evils of such a system ~ also live the change and help others to do so.

Produce your own food and share with your local collective, or simply buy directly from your local farmers.  Teach courses in organic foods or better farming techniques.  Raise funds or produce management or marketing tools for local organic farmers.
In other words, harness all of the energy you can muster into productive personal goals, and the solutions will blossom around you.
As such, if each of us removes the fuel that we contribute to the inferno, its flame would burn out.

At the same time, we'll find fulfillment in living out our passions for the material betterment of ourselves and the collective benefit of society.

If each of us does something we believe in and are passionate about, no amount of force can stop the entropy of the change.  

There won't be one message that can be co-opted, or one law that can be written to stop its advance, or one group of protesters that can be minimized. The weight of collective energy of individuals creating something new in a multitude of arenas will cause the old abusive system to cave in on itself.  

No hate-filled slogans necessary.

No demolition needed.  

No violence required.

IT'S TIME TO BE THE CHANGE.

  2. While every one looks to the west and east and north...

    The Arab Spring is obviously the same kind of thing wherever you see it, as in the below article, "The Contest Over Peace And Security In Africa – By Alex De Waal" - "local" leaders of the world's nations, Muammar Gaddafi for instance, are always relegated to a second or third class house servant status in comparison to the "elite" First Powers of the world. Kenyan Barak Hussein Obama, President of the United States, seems to fit somewhat uncomfortably in the top echelon. The second class of leader it seems are always expendable when deemed pragmatic. Throughout it all, the African continent is forever left to fend for itself and kept as a poor relation. In reality, it is a strong virile rich continent that should assert itself and not allow exploitation of its people or resources.

    See the video African Farmers here for a perfect example of positive change.

    Small farmers like this African Farmer are the model of the hope of the future for feeding people without massive infrastructures that cause any number of other problems.

    End all apartheid/colonialism/exploitation and all of its forms now - it will only help all people of the world for all of us to do this.

  3. Yes, non violence is always best - unless someone is trying to kill you, your family, neighbors, community, nation - then what?

    And personal actions are the best way for things like conservation, eco-friendly behaviours, etc.,

    But the world is confronted by a pack of homicidal psychopaths who have been, are now, and will continue to commit the worst crimes against humanity (at the same time they claim they suffer from) around the globe - and people should be fast becoming aware of the fact that these demon-possessed beings do via brainwashed proxies who believe they are doing something like "god's work" (e.g. as NATO does their dirty work) ...

    Anyone who thinks these monsters will stop when their latest "wars" are over - think again; when they have finished their empire building in the Mid-East, they will move to their next objects of desire - Russia, China, Africa (now in early stages, which won't withstand for very long). And where will the blood thirsty ones go after that?

    For you - all of you who thought you were on "their team" ...

    This means the personal approach just won't work - neither will mass or minor violence (which will play right into the hands of the sick ones).

    So here's my proposed solution:

    10 million (more will be even better and faster) people in every major nation - JUST WALK OUT: walk out of work, school, stores, banking, oil refineries (particularly) even power generation plants (excepting nuclear) everything.

    Would you rather go without all the usual comforts of life for a temporary time? Or do you prefer mass murder and destruction for -let's say - an equal amount of time? (Really - why are people willing to put down everything to go off to war, but can't dream of walking away from everything to stop war?).

    SHUT THE PARASITES DOWN by denying them their "blood" (money).

    Right now the people (99%) of the world have a choice; continued regional wars, massive crimes against humanity, all leading to their goal of World War (again - has no one learned that the first two were arranged, murderous crimes, created by the same "elites" that now plan the coming one) - in which nearly all of "normal" life will be interrupted or refusal to participate - which will also lead to interruptions of normal life - but infinitely less destructive.

    The 99% (just 10-20% is all that is needed) must walk out, turn their backs on the psychopaths, shut them down (then arrest and imprison them all) or accept perpetual world war, slavery, and your their destruction (which is the goal of the "elites").

  4. I am with you Anonymous.

    To answer your question, once they have devoured the rest of us, they would turn on themselves....

    Any ideas how to get such a walk out organized internationally? It is quite true.

    Bank tellers walking out would be a great addition.....

  5. Noor, you're correct - their self destruction (deserved) is the ultimate end - i, like majority, prefer not to be part of their end game or their current global game, which is why i say walk out, walk away, shut them down and out.

    How to get it going -

    Good news - it's already in progress, the idea is already in peoples' minds. They just don't realize it yet (let's call it Universal Truth which is most often simple truth).

    Most people don't realize it because it is truth and simple truth has been under arrest, imprisoned, twisted, and worse for centuries (longer to tell the truth).

    People, if by rare occurrence come across any, are now conditioned to fear truth or think of it as only something the "experts" understand. Mostly - simple truths are now hidden by command of the "elites" (example - just 5 years ago 99% didn't know truth about "central banks" i.e. privately owned and operated by and ultimately exclusively for the 1%)

    This is where people like you have entered into the scene - writing/spreading truth ...

    So spread more and more simple truth, quickly because to the psychopath "elites" truth is like sunlight to the vampire (they don't seek total control of WWW for "protecting intellectual property", they do so to keep truth locked up in their dungeons and torture chambers; they cannot destroy truth, much as they wish and try to)

    a few simple truths:

    World Walk Out

    or another

    World War

    World War of 99%

    or

    World non-violent action (see above) against the 1%

    Global Peace Economy from now on

    or continue with

    Global War Economy Forever

    War financiers (not the average banker) are war criminals

    War profiteers are war criminals (often the same people as above)

    Global media (those at the top, middle levels) war criminals

    the half truth that most people are purposely confused by and are stuck in (thanks to the war financiers media and "academics") is that

    soldiers (to lesser degree politicians -owned by the above) are the war criminals,

    but it is the financiers and profiteers who put the guns into the hands of the soldiers, the bribes into the politicos' hands, and the "elites" media that brainwashes them all into "legislating" war and taking guns into their hands ...

    more, but this, hopefully, gives some starting places

    thanks for chance to offer!
