Protest big business, corporate greed, and lawmakers, rally around for Che, and you will look like a revolutionary, a hero to the uneducated masses. The problem is the protestors don’t realize that the sheeple and the uneducated are themselves. They haven’t looked in the proverbial mirror lately.
Take their hero Che Guevara for example. These people love him! He was so great! A revolutionary! And they want to be like him! Because of Che, thousands of innocent people died.
Or take their protests against banks while paying for stuff in the corner 7-11 with their credit cards (saw that).
Or take their complaining against big businesses and their profits while using their products (Apple iPhones were very prolific) or wearing their products or wishing they had one of those new products coming out (“Can’t what for the new iPhone dude”). What happens to their slogan, “People before Profits,” when they idolize and lust for the products of the very thing they doth protest? Their slogan becomes an example of their hypocrisy.
Don’t they realize that corporations cannot give them what they want without profits and capitalism? Don’t they realize that they will become the enemy of the governments they want to establish (Communism, Socialism, Marxism)?
This is our future folks. Ready for it?
“Or take their protests against banks while paying for stuff in the corner 7-11 with their credit cards (saw that).”—–Just curious, how were the expected to pay? Of course they could use cash, but even that cash comes from a bank!
BTW, the Wall Street protesters (I went one day) don’t necessarily want the death of capitalism and a subsequent communist society. Perhaps they just don’t want the heads of banks to reap insane bonuses while the rest of the country suffers at the banks’ expense.
“Just curious, how were the expected to pay?”
How about starting a commune and they can grow their own churros and Pepsi; they can set up their own factory and build their own iPod’s and lap tops. This way they don’t have to complain about excessive CEO compensation.
The Soviets did’t construct the Berlin wall to keep people out.
