Open Letter To G20 Activists And Anarchists

Dear Activist,

Why do you bother?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9j5ZchuUUg

All you want to do is drink beer play music and talk literature, right?

I assure you those things will be available during the rest of your lifetime.

The Anthem by Ayn Rand had the City Theatre… 1984 had drinking halls… Brave New World had soma.

Here's my point: Your motivation is not for an advanced and free technologically advanced society, right?

What is it that you really want to achieve?

It seems that you have some kind of muddled wish for a Fabian socialist world of government control. Exactly the goal of the New World Order.  The very forces you are apparently against.  It really does not make sense.

Anti capitalist?  Anti business?  I've had conversations with Anarchists and don't seem to get past about 20 minutes before the theoretical anarchist confesses to his own confusion about the real goal and objective and dream of anarchism…

But please dont feel offended. I know having clarity is difficult. And it becomes easy to join a big crowd and get angry at the political scum leaders.

But can you see the parallel here:

You want restrictions on free trade… collectivist paid healthcare… renewable energies.  Free enterprise / free market capitalism continues to run amock you think.  More government control. More regulation. More restriction of so called 'free financial markets' you protest for.  Jobs provided by government.

Funny isn't it that those things are what the French President apparently wants?

"President Sarkozy yesterday threatened to wreck the London summit if France’s demands for tougher financial regulation are not met." - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/G20/article6005810.ece

My real question dear activist comes from this…

I have the greatest fear that your efforts actually help the globalization engine.  That the very method of your protest fuels the fires for the Global Elite to impose greater destructions on our planet.

We know they are 2-faced evil scum…  We know they are duplicitous – claiming to serve the public trust, whilst running the greatest financial ponzi scheme imaginable, whilst bankrupting ours and our childrens futures.

And similarly, they also put themselves forward as capitalistic, whilst actually operating completely the opposite.  They are politicians after all!  And of course we know the banking cartels own politics.  THAT is not capitalism.

The doctrines of the Global Elite are actually very much aligned with your own supposed wish for a socialist utopia of global fascist/socialist/elitist control.

I emplore you to answer me this: Is that global elitist capitalism the same type of free-market capitalism as put forward by Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand, Adam Smith, and the others?

The answer is very clearly no.

Thus something is amiss here.

And we should identify atleast 2 different forms of capitalism.

Here is my perspective:

• The global elite are fabian socialists, not free-market capitalists.
• The greedy capitalists are 'political capitalists', not free-market capitalists.  If they were free-market capitalists, they would not lobby for government protectionism.
• And you, dear G20 activist, are really a free-market capitalist, hoodwinked into thinking you are socialists.

How is that possible?

Because the global elites put forward a pseudo-image of pro-capitalism… whilst actually doing the opposite.

They aren't capitalists! They're communist socialist fascists… in other words, they are collectivists.

Thus whilst you fight against what is really happening (i.e. socialism), you call it capitalism because that's what they call it.

Does that make sense?

And I think I have stumbled on a very good way to understand the difference that we are all trying to understand.

Individuality vs Collectivism.

So I ask of you this.

I'm quite certain that you have done the homework of reading George Orwell's 1984 and Aldoux Huxley's Brave New World.

Well I have a shorter story that is in the public domain (no copyright, free to read and download online), by a russian named Ayn Rand.  Her short story The Anthem may lead you to a similar conclusion as me.

…That if we do not uphold the rights of each of us individually, then we will all fall together.

"It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see." - http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/texts/anthem/complete.html

And then for a more intellectual explanation, please please see http://www.freedom-force.org/pdf/futurecalling1.pdf

Let the protests be meaningful.

Please help me understand where you are really coming from, and where we agree in principle so that we can actually build an activist platform that doesn't just 'make a difference and stand up for ourselves'… but a platform that creates a genuine revolution.
