OWS has its origin in US but its core element of the people’s direct action against corporate greed supported by political establishment has worldwide ramification. This movement has global popular support and sympathetic resonance. OWS is pitted against an unbelievable powerful opponent – the global corporate-capital that has its life- nourishing tentacles stuck everywhere on this planet and is in league with political establishments there, including US.
For OWS to succeed in US it is very necessary that this movement is spread globally and the whole humanity is pitted against this fearsome opponent. Our Earth is still divided into different political units – nations – that are mired into their own separate problems and popular issues. Still, behind these different issues, this core issue of corporate greed and its collaboration with the political establishments there is very much present in all countries.
OWS is faced with many kinds of problems calling its urgent attention. The first and the foremost problem are to face the weather – ordinary people in the open exposed to the extreme cold. It has become the topmost issue of the survival of the movement through this weather. It calls for ingenuity and bravery on the part of OWS participants; in coming month, the real fight may be against the weather and not so much against the corporate greed, of course till this winter is over.
The second problem faced by this movement would be to enlarge its scope from US to global. In the backdrop of the reality of different socio-political conditions in different countries, it is not easy to enlarge its scope; already in US the participants of OWS are not of one view on many important issues. Still, there does not seem to be any alternative to the spreading of the scope of OWS to other countries, if this movement is to succeed.
There may be a few things and issues on which a common stand of “yes and no” may be formulated by the participants for global presentation for common movement of humanity. Here are some suggestions for consideration of OWS.
We say:
NO to the dictatorship of religious thought-processes (like all religions);
YES to the freedom of enquiry into all religious thought-processes;
NO to the dictatorship of political thought-processes (like Marxism, Nazism, Anarchism, Capitalism etc.);
YES to the freedom of scientific evaluation of all political thought-processes;
NO to the political dictatorship (like Communism, Socialism, Deformed Democracy etc.);
YES to the freedom of choice for Democracy, Direct Democracy, and Self-Governance;
NO to the dictatorship of corporate in the matters of carrying on production, distribution and consumption of commodities through their capital;
YES to the freedom of people in the matters of carrying on production, distribution and consumption of commodities through their Direct Democracy.
NO to the enforced-compulsion of commitment to only one nation, race, economic unit, one king;
YES to the freedom of choice to commit oneself to the human unity and her global welfare;
NO to the right of corporate to injure nature in pursuit of their greed;
YES to the right of people to save Earth.
