The "99%" is not a social whole. Some leftist people bring a story, where the "99%" is characterized as a homogeneous mass. The "ordinary people" who are referred to as the "99%" often seem suspiciously like the predominantly white, middle class law abiding citizens that we know from TV, but looks as homogeneous society in reality not.



It is a misstake to divide the masses som of uss are much longer attacked by capitalism and fight for generations against the injustice that characterizes this system. The middle classes, who are currently losing their social status, can learn much from those who have never shared their privileges.

It is not only the "bad apples" who caused the problem. The crisis is not the result of the selfishness of some bankers, it is the inevitable consequence of an economic system at every level of our society encourages cutthroat competition. Capitalism is not static, but a dynamic process that devours everything in its path, the planet reduces to commodity for profit. Now almost everything possible thrown into the fire is, the system will come in and those who formerly were favored wel get to stand in the cold. In returning to an earlier stage of capitalism, such as the gold standard, for example, is not the answer. This is not only impossible, earlier stages of capitalism did not benefit the "99%" worldwide. If we want to escape from this crisis, we need to rediscover how we relate to each other and the world around us to relate.



Glorify obedience to the law. The law is ultimately the privileges of the rich and powerful to protect its monitoring is not necessarily moral - it can even be immoral: slavery was legal, and too the Nazis kept the law. We need the power of our consciousness and conscience development, and what do we know that it is good, regardless of the law.
