Well the reason I started this new blog is because there was something I wanted to get off my chest and that is this.
For the last three or four months I have been watching the #Occupy protests with interest and even approval but over the last few weeks as the wall street incarnation fell apart I changed my views.
The protesters say that the aim of #OWS is to create revolution but I say that they couldn't have been more wrong.
I'll put it to you this way did real revolutionaries like Dr. Ernesto "Che" Guevara topple a government in Cuba with an iphone??
Were the principles of Socialism founded so that everyone could buy things they don't need??
The situation that sparked off the Occupy movement was largely created by the protesters themselves, they (that is to say you) thought that buying those pointless little fucking gadgets would make your lives better you spend $500+ on that flimsy shit which more than likely got broke when you got beat upside your capitalist hipster head when your camp was raided.
You people claim to be socialists BULLSHIT. Real socialists wouldn't need that kinda shit to spark off a revolution against corporate greed or economic inequity.
I'm a dedicated revolutionary I have never bought an iphone, never owned an ipod never used a mac or never felt the need to buy any of that over priced shit. I'm a part of the welfare state of Ireland and due to a fuck up at the welfare office I'm not going to have money for food or transport for two fucking weeks try and live for two weeks with no money or food only a fucking ipad and then we'll see how fast your philosophy changes.
That's all I have to say on that subject I hope you realize in time that while your intentions were good you like many other socialists with "good intentions" were lead astray by human nature and the greed of consumerism.
