Is corporatism under threat?

Posted on 28. Sep, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava

Main stream media has been feeding us sound bites and neatly packaged stories of events that now, have pretty names. Things like the ‘Arab Spring’, the ‘Euro debt crisis‘ and the ‘Double dip‘ may sound like something you may wanna order for a kids party, but are we getting any real sense of what the hell is really going on right now?

Now there is a new thing – called ‘Occupy Wall Street’, which isn’t really being spoken about in polite circles, but it appears that the appetite for public protest in America is emerging once again from the 60s.

So what’s going on? Traditional media seem to be offering half truths and whole lies. People who turn out not to be who they say they are, make outrageous statements on tv platforms who then say they have no idea how that individual got onto their channel in the first place.

So what’s going on? In a word – FEAR! The fantasy is manifesting as reality. Is the debt crisis real? Who knows – they say so on TV, but we haven’t counted the money ourselves. Just because you’ve been told the sea is blue doesn’t make it so.

So with a world constructed on emotion – do people still feel warm and fuzzy about a corporate system that they don’t trust and are prepared to take to the streets, in protest and with potential of arrest, to rid themselves of? In truth radical progress only comes as a result of widespread destruction.

Today it’s Goldman Sachs tomorrow Pick and Pay. The birth of the future of commerce may just be starting right now.
