Video description

LA JUVENTUD NO ES UNA GENERACIÓN PERDIDA. ¿Generación perdida? No sois una generación perdida porque habeís despertado. Y habeís salido a la calle. Es esencial pensar en el futuro. Que la gente se lo crea. ZAPATERO Y RAJOY DESTRUYEN LA CONFIANZA EN LA ECONOMÍA. Una prueba del error de la gente que nos manda, como es que hay un señor diciendo que hay que crear confianza para a continación dice que la economía esta fatal, hay que crear confianza pero aquí esta el para destruirla. EL 15M DEBE SER UN MOVIMIENTO PACÍFICO. El 15M no necesita de la violencia por que tiene la razón. Practiquemos la no violencia como practica Gandhi. LAS LEYES SON VIOLENCIA. Las leyes son expresión del poder, el poder hace leyes injustas. EL ÚNICO DIOS DEL HOMBRE ES EL DINERO. El sistema lo ha convertido todo en mercancía, el dinero y el beneficio lo ha convertido en los únicos intereses de la ida. DEBEÍS CREAR UN NUEVO MODELO ECONÓMICO. Y ese modelo económico debe ser ecológico, ético y estético. Ni iglesia ni economía de mercado. NO PENSAMOS CON LIBERTAD Y LA DEMOCRACIA REPRESENTATIVA ES UNA FARSA. En cuanto a la política la democracia representativa es una farsa total ya que reposa en el hecho de que se nos educa desde la infancia para que no tengamos pensamiento propio y nos creemos los dogmas que nos enseñaron en la infancia y los dogmas que nos cuentan los medios de comunicación. Esta democracia no nos deja pensar con libertad. Los medios de comunicación son medios de ocultación y medios de desinformación. SE HAN DESTRUIDO LOS VALORES. Han destruido los derechos y los valores humanos, han destruido la justicia, la justicia internacional, han destruido la idea de libertad de justicia de cooperación y de fraternidad. Su receta es productividad, competitividad e innovación.
