People's power against politic power's complex

ººº Abstract: Repressive power can be opposed peacefully only by * real
masses of determined people of the same spirit * - a reaction to George
Monbiot's question ººº
In reaction to the question brought up by George Monbiot, whose courageous
and enlightening articles I do admire, I want to highlight the urgent need
for facilitation of world wide mass movements in favour of a peaceful and
just world order. Mass Movements are the necessary counterpart to the
capitalist violent power complex.
Masses might need to risk themselves in order to have a chance to change the
world
In order to have a chance to change the world in a way we would like to have
it, all those who really do want a change for the better, need to show up.
Against a real mass movement all over the planet the violent capitalist
alliance will be powerless! Masses might need to risk themselves, however
they cannot be stopped, as long as *they really show up in overwhelming
numbers all inspired by the same uniting spirit*. This was proved recently
by the peaceful masses who forced the breakdown of the late German
Democratic Republic's government.
However it does need real masses! And it needs the adoption of a spirit, of
mental concepts which are able to focus our thinking and acting on the
essentials!
Only masses will impress politicians. How those masses can be brought into
the streets?
Only masses will impress politicians. Only masses will show those in power
their dependency on people who are no longer prepared to pay the bills for
further destruction and killing. Only masses will prove that people are fed
up with their endangered life. A life which is socially endangered as well
as endangered by poisonous food, polluted breathing air and radioactive or
electromagnetic radiation.
The question arises, how those masses can be brought into the streets. How
to reach the people, how to make bourgeois citizens feel concerned? How to
arise their will to oppose the interests of corporate industry market, money
domination and military power? How to focus all the different existing
groups and movements in order to make their concern effective?
First of all a lot of enlightening information is needed. And the readiness
as well as openness to accept alternative information instead of mass media
lies.
The inspiring mental concepts, the concentrate of values and principles
which we discussed last session in this brainstorming forum, are the key to
all the questions and tasks we are confronted with. This concepts are the
foundation also to this months topic: architecture of global governance.
As Garda Ghista put it on her important contribution from Sat,14.Dec.2002:
we need 'sadvipras' - people with devotion to the entity of
interconnectedness of all being. Something which starts within each of
ourselves and which leads finally to a different kind of culture.
'Sadvipras' could motivate for a more and more actively dissident people,
Simpol and other alternatives for stopping social, economical and ecological
pressure
'Sadvipras' are the yeast in the process of motivation towards an inspiring
of more and more actively dissident people. Even high ranks of military
personnel, chief executive officers and political leaders are humans, whose
souls one day might be reached. It is also their life and the life of their
beloved ones, which is endangered.
This leads us to the second important factor for creating oppositional
masses. Unfortunately it is the increasing pain and mischief due to growing
social, economical and ecological pressures caused by the system which we
need to change.
SimPol certainly is a hope spreading tool for changing politics. Many more
alternatives are being tried at different locations. However, without
showing up in masses - be it in the streets or be it on one of all the other
platforms which dissident people try to use - there hardly will be chances
to prove a determined longing for decisively different world politics.
With warm greetings to everybody,
Wolfgang
