Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Anonymous to governments: Let us explain your delicate situation

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Anonymous to governments: Let us explain your delicate situation

Click here to access video translation of an inspiring message delivered in Spanish by "Anonymous" in Spain to the government, posted by P2P Foundation. (The translation is not the best for North Americans. For example, instead of "imaginary", a better translation is probably "concepts".)

This is an Anonymous message from the Spanish revolution to politicians, dictators and plutocrats all over the planet: Surprised by global disobedience? Let us explain your delicate situation.
