Politics and belgium

Rather than writing my own manifesto, I refer you to others.

Ron Paul: The Revolution:

The US of Adverstising has military bases in 131 countries. The Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. Both want war, they differ on tactical issues. The morality is not to be discussed. As for free market or what was once called “the democratic experiment”, I feel there is no better place to test it than the USA. If only to stop the flow of military aid to Columbia, Egypt, Saudi family and Israel.

A Virus Manifesto:

The Internet can be a freeing force. Like voting it’s anonymous, but you can even explain yourself.

Polyarchy: http://www.polyarchy.org/manifesto/english/introduction.html

I haven’t read it yet, but it’s good to remember we dont’ live a democracy or city-state (if you’re an Aristotle fan) yet.

The Communist Manifesto:

Compare some these with your current State-System and how much power it has over the individual even in neo-liberal western-europe:

To quote:

The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.

Nevertheless, in most advanced (not the agrarian russia of 1918 or the current “third world countries”) countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.

Manifest Destiny:

Ok, not a manifesto. But it’s a good to remember democrats started imperialism, took half of Mexico’s land and pretty much completed the genocide of native americans (if that term has any meaning at all).

The Declaration of Independence:

That all men are created equal except for black people, this was later amended and used by lawyers as a legal technique to grant rights to corporations. And that the persuit of happiness is more important than obtaining it.

The Fascist Manifesto:

George Orwell explained that fascism is a term void of meaning by now (and by the time he wrote most of his works even) and used to describe any and all undesirable forms of exercising power. It’s ironic to note that this manifest includes: Voting rights for women, abolition of elitist institutes based on nobility and nepotism, minimum wage, a progressive tax, peace when possible (by default). Il Duce somewhat abused this document and the movement. But a lot of corporatism still lives on in Belgium when you think about it.

The GNU Manifesto:

Copyleft things instead of copyright them and replace competition by cooperation. If you think this will take the challenge out of life, I remind you that we have a huge capacity to destroy all human life on earth and various other lifeforms. It’s a challenge for mankind to last langer than say, the sun. This idea never caught on in the land of Tetris, because it resembled communism too much.
