There’s a great photo gallery over at The Guardian showing images from today’s G-20 protests in London. Among them: a crowd marching in front of a banner that reads “Capitalism Isn’t Working,” plus the rest of the image snippet at right—a scene of pain, pleading and pure citizen vs. citizen outrage.
This Friday there’s a free exhibit at the UW Tower of pics from the student street protests during the 60s here.
Amusingly, I found out the guy who runs Bulldog News in the U Dist is on the poster in the lower left corner.
Of course capitalism works. Some will be rich and others will be poor, that is how capitalism works. With the worlds’ people wanting everything, like Americans want and demand everything there will be a breakdown in the rich/poor paradigm.
Capitalism isn’t the problem, Corporate personhood is.
Capitalism would be working better for these people if they went to work instead of being a nuisance.
Anarchist salivate for every G12, they’re not really concerned about the economy, otherwise they would be busy working.
“Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets.”
It is not capitalism that isn’t working,
it’s Socialism.
Capitalism would have let the financials and auto makers go bankrupt so something better could take their place.
Socialism is smothering the world and imploding from it’s own weight.
slide 32 shows a guy holding a banner saying “consumers suck”. Ok! I’ll stop consuming! Thanks for the advice.
Ahhh…to be a young college student living off daddy’s tit with no fucking clue how the world actually works.
Wow, same WTO losers from Seattle. Guess these morons are still bred.
You mean like the $68 BILLION in corporate tax exemptions we’re not getting rid of?
Uh, right, SWM.
Does it make anyone else sad to see working class cops taking a beating for the fucking elite? They get to sit in their glass towers looking down on all the ants fighting it out. I’d like those pictures way more if the bankers were dressed in riot gear, bleeding.
Socialism sucks…Why should my tax money from my hard work help some lazy azzhole
that only want to sit on his/her butt and suck from the gov’t. teat?? Socialism is not the answer, governments are not the answer. People should control their governments and not governments control their people!! Get off yer lazy butts, go to school, go to work. This isn’t France for crying out loud!!
