"Occupy Wall Street" makes NO sense

“…it is not the banks that are totally, or even mostly, at fault for their failures. Rather, it is our federal government that has continued to “bailout” a banking system that does not work well.”

Dear friends,

Lately, everyday, at least through the government- and corporate-controlled mainstream media, we have been both seeing and hearing about protesters occupying Wall Street, and now even their equally angry fellows have been appearing at banking and other establishments nationwide. However, it is not the banks that are totally, or even mostly, at fault for our current economic problems. Rather, it is, for example, our federal government that has continued to “bailout” a banking system that does not work well.

Moreover, how can citizens expect this government to faithfully behave in our interests, when its agents (in the form of politicians), from the White House to Capitol Hill, are so promiscuous with our trust, let alone our tax dollars, when conducting business affairs with corporations of all kinds? I mean, if one had such disrespect shown to him or her by a spouse, then divorce court would have already become a memory.

Consequently, the solution to the constant cycles of repression and depression in this political economy or process of social reproduction has to be found by all of us combining our inner and outer energies or powers in order to build genuine “communities”, where our banks are community-owned institutions that allow for the funding of businesses, home building, and even more importantly, provide the capital, as it were, for us to maintain value judgments that are based upon relationships that are independent yet cooperative, along with showing care and concern for our fellows, instead of power and, particularly, sexual greed, as all economic/social relations exist now, under the value judgments of a market-driven, possession-oriented society.

By the way, please note that when I say “sexual greed”, I am not simply referring to males who have more sexual interactions outside of their marriages than they do with their own wives, although that is not to be overlooked. Rather, I am talking about Male Supremacy, euphemistically called sexism, as females are expected to contribute vigorously to the proliferation of this or any other society, while they are not given the same access to, much less benefits of, the equality to become fully human, just for being of the “different“ sex. Meanwhile, males in all societies hog it all! In real communities, that would not be the case, and females would be raised to be as competent as males are, as opposed to trivializing their divine potentials so that they do not make males feel intimidated (thus, simultaneously, making males feel superior). Besides, from the cheating spouse to the BP oil spill, greed is always short-sighted.

Finally, the current spate of protests means nothing. It’s a waste of valuable energy. If anything, the “occupation” should be on the steps of White House and Capitol Hill, especially since it has been those federal politicians, ever since the end of the Civil War, who keep bailing out the failing banks and corporations.

Cheers!
