Colorful Flowers - Lets Not be Fooled
I suggest us to learn together how to make colorful flower paper origami
or to find currently blossoming japanese cherry trees from which to pick flowers from,
and offer them to each other,
including to individuals working within the established institutions of control and speculation,
to police officers, to judges,
to bankers and realtors,
and to converge in our movements ( single ) mothers and fathers,
grandmothers and grandfathers,
homeless children and parents,
and ask them not to enforce on us
the greed for power of a minority,
not to enforce on us
artificial scarcity, and austerity,
not to enforce on us the costs of financial speculation
not to support through their use of force
artificially created poverty.
Lets ask them, with flowers.
///
Lets ask with flowers
to individuals working at the council of europe
to further pressure all neoliberal politicians
and remind them of the spirit of human rights
to remind them of their duties towards all the people
and not to enforce plans for austerity
which are but only a chosen political fiction
of a fictional abstract world of money as debt,
interests and credit peak,
leading to artificially created econoic crisis
leading to further concentration of powers
and to poverty required to increase the value
of the accumulated capital.
Lets remind everyone
that we need not play this game
that we can create a different game
which takes into account the real scarcities
while reopening the true abundances within and with each other.
Lets remind each other
of the role of the european institutions,
and more particularly the ones based in Brussels,
that we do not wish to loose our sovereignty as individuals
and do not wish to legitimize their power.
Lets remind them that we are aware we are not in a democracy
and that we will not be fooled
by their words.
That we can create alternatives
but do not wish to be oppressed
in the process of doing so
but instead wish to be supported
perhaps not institutionally
but by every individual
through more resilient
and more networked forms of organization.
We wish to remind them
not to support oppressive new regulations
not to take control on the internet
and to enable us to keep our privacies
as we do not wish
their stasi enforcement ( notorious east german secret police )
we do not wish the neoliberal systems of control
and we ask for the police, the secret informants,
and each individual in the establishment
to maintain and develop our shared awareness for mutual empowerment
and freedom from coercion
as of today
we are not in a democracy.
votes do not offer us choice
as choices are pre-determined.
///
I personally experienced a political party
and alternatives are scarce
at best sometimes can be pronounced
yet need to go through a whole party estabishment
as to actually be proposed
in a so called representative political system
which , as we know in belgium
is not any more representative,
and as we know in belgium,
is mainly required to manage changes towards neoliberal interests of a established elite
///
54 billion euros have been guaranteed ( 2/3 of belgian public budget )
in addition to many billions paid/lost to financial “markets”
by the belgian state
for only one bank
going bankrupt for the second time in 3 years
even at the time
where there was no government.
hence we have proof
that even decisions with long lasting effects on society
do not require our “representants”.
I repeat : we are not in a democracy.
let us not be fooled by the limited choice of our votes.
we are not in a democracy.
yet we can re-create democracy.
we are the people.
///
Let us not be fooled.
let us not use this platform to legitimize powers in place.
let us be a critic
and let us suggest institutions
to support us in our alternatives.
while, if it is markets one asks for,
at least enable truly free markets ,
not monopolistic systems ,
and not corporate sponsored politics.
///
There is no lack of work.
There is only a lack of political support.
This political support expresses itself and is controled through money.
Debt created money.
There is no limit on our capacity to create money
there is post-keynesian MMT
there is Japan with 270 percent national debt ( twice as much as Greece ).
All this is a neoliberal fairy tale
to impose austerity on us.
Let us not be fooled.
Let us use flowers
to remind each of us
of the world we wish to live in
and that we can live today
if we wish to.
///
We have the tools
we have the internet and new forms of technologies
to facilitate resource allocation
we can do this locally
and in a distributed approach
we can diversify our activities
and enable each of us to learn meaningfully based on our needs and intrinsic motivations.
This is the reality I choose for
beyond the ficition of artificial scarcity, speculation and austerity
Lets not be put in jail for wishing to experience our human rights and dignity with each other.
