The Occupy Movement is just the beginning of a New Era
Date: August 30, 2011 | Author: Mark Winter
The capitalism as we know it is in its final phase of decline like the communist system was in 1989 and the western politicians should now tell the people the truth that we will not be able to maintain the status quo of the capitalistic system as it is. Neither in the US nor in Europe can we be sure that the annual growth in the coming years will lift us out of the economical and political crisis which the system is facing.

The People in Egypt want Democracy and the West has to support them

The people want democracy in Egypt and they are right. The West should no longer support the system Mubarak and help the to move forward towards democracy. It really is a scandal that this despot has been so long supported by Western powers. A man who has humiliated and oppressed his people up to the utmost. These humiliations against its own people endured for almost 30 years, and now discharges in a few days. The days of Mubarak's term in office are numbered.
