(26,355 posts)As for students, the word is debt strike.
Iceland did the right thing in just completely refusing to pay what the IMF claims they owe them.
Fuck debt. It's a weapon designed to keep people enslaved. People are forced into debt either to get an education, or to keep the rent or utilities paid, or to buy groceries when there are no jobs, or just to buy a house.
I'll say this about my personal debts (currently a lot of student loan debt) - if the banksters can't find a way to get an economy rolling where I can get a job that enables me to live comfortably while paying my debts, then I'm just going to welsh.
The student loan payments will be the very last priority behind rent, utilities, health care, food, etc., and I will work very hard to make it impossible for the bastards to collect.
