The People Will Subordinate The Corporations

[Tace]

So much of this drama has to do with the tyranny of the Corporations.

Let me explain how it works out in the end: The People will subordinate the Corporations to the will of the People. End of story.

See, it has a happy ending!

[PowerToThePeople]

1. Corporations will kill the resistance. End of Story.

When we finaly get up the nuts to stand up, we will be killed. This is something I hold deeply true, though I am not pleased with it, know that it is the only outcome.

[Kralizec]

4. I don't claim to know any future.

To sit is worse. And I don't share your finality in the matter.

[Tace]

9. Yikes! -- We Wrote The Exact Same Sentence!

Coincidence -- I think not!

On Edit: Well, almost exactly the same.

[Tace]

7. Sort Of Funny Response From "PowerToThePeople"

I don't claim to know the future.

I figure the corporations will treat the planet as the yolk of an egg, in order to try to colonize the galaxy. That's what I'm seeing.

[PowerToThePeople]

14. Well, Let me see. Oh ya, I have the right to my opinion..

This is a future that I believe will happen. I do not "know" this, but it is a very educated guess. Corporations kill people all over the rest of the world (3-rd world countries) who stand up against them. Why wouldn't they do it here too?

[Tace]

18. More Than Your Opinion -- You Have A Vision

And, I think you're right. Without being too hokey, "The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth."

[AndyTiedye]

29. Yes, But It Will Be The Fundies That Kill Us, not "The Corporations"

[NuttyFluffers]

30. what powerful pieces of paper they are, aren't they?

;)

i don't share your cynicism. but i respect your right to voice it.

[Cleita]

2. It's possible.

The people will have to form new corporations to fight the old ones, preferrably cooperatives. I can't really see why it wouldn't work with determination and watching one's back.

[PowerToThePeople]

6. I agree with this route, starting Socialist style corporations..

This could be the key. As long as the are not just bought out by the Fascist corps as they begin to take hold.

[Cleita]

12. We need to make sure that they can't buy them.n/t

[spindrifter]

3. Sadly, the corporations

will buy the resistance....

[Kralizec]

5. Only if the resistance has leadership. n/t

[obxhead]

8. so is this a dream or are we waking up when..

this happens?

[Tace]

10. Not A Dream -- A Vision

With a whole lot of waking up involved.

[obxhead]

13. so what happens with currency?

[Tace]

15. We'll Come Up With An Energy Currency Standard...

to replace the Gold Standard, until we get rid of money.

[PowerToThePeople]

16. There is no "gold standard." It is all monopoly money already. n/t

[Tace]

21. Yes, But Fiat Currency Will Collapse

We'll have to peg the currency to something, and energy seems like the likely candidate.

[obxhead]

17. so I give you fuel and you give me food?

[PowerToThePeople]

20. I see.... Mad Max. n/t

[obxhead]

22. you went there, not me....

I'm all for a replacement of capitalism, but have yet to hear or read of a viable alternative.

I'm as open to alternatives as they come.

[Tace]

24. Very, Very Possible, If Not Probable

The corporations/governments are focusing on getting off the planet. They'll leave us wasted.

[Tace]

23. Why Am I Reminded Of "The Matrix?"

Where everyone is a battery?

What I'm saying is that a global currency will be pegged to energy. So, the value of energy will determine the value of the currency.

Personally, if I have any food, it's yours, too.

[obxhead]

25. I don't quite get that whole "Matrix" thing

it still comes down to "he who has the gold (energy) has the power (money)"

as for the free giving of food...

[Tace]

26. I Don't Undertand The Matrix Thing Either

But the golden rule: "He who has the gold, rules," will be "He who has the energy, rules," I figure.

[obxhead]

27. Bwahahaha...

You started it. Replacing currency with energy is just substituting one for the other.

Bwahahaha again.
that was fun.

[Tace]

28. No Kidding : )

[oregonindy]

11. Yep...go watch www.thecorporation.com

were just serfs now...

[lectrobyte]

19. as long as power can be concentrated, it will attract those who would

misuse. checks and balances are required.
