TIME FOR ACTION Collective means of action Invent new ways of doing To revolt against the economic and political elites , citizens had two means of actions that have been successful for nearly two centuries, the labor strike and street protests . These two means of action are no longer effective today. The labor strike is not the appropriate form of action as it is practicable only by a minority of people. Since 1970-80 , millions of workers have become unemployed , replaced by robots , computers, or by human slaves who do the same work for a pittance in the Third World. Or an unemployed person can not strike. Similarly, those in precarious or interim employment can not strike. As for those who still have employment , they can not go on strike because of the risk of losing their job . The demonstrations in the street have also lost their effectiveness. Once an event occurs peacefully without police violence, it is only one day event . At night, when the event is over, everyone goes home very nicely to watch TV , and continue to eat the next day. In short, for the government, an event is nothing more than a kind of festive entertainment that puts color in the street. Between a citizen or union demonstration and a demonstration without purpose as the Techno Parade or Gay Pride , finally what is the difference ? For citizens and against - powers , so it became necessary to invent new ways to share. The general strike of consumption Citizens hands ultimate weapon : the general strike of consumption. The general strike is not a consumer boycott against specific brands, but a general trend , as in 1968 , whose goal is to make comprehensive claims. Now , everyone has the power to start the consumption strike personally. By buying only the bare necessities , ceasing to idolize brands ceasing to be associated with the definition of our happiness . Before each purchase, we ask under what social and ecological conditions were produced goods that we are about to buy. Grêve individual consumption is the way to be free : consuming less , we spend less , so we are less dependent on money and need to work. The general strike of birth There is another citizen weapon that has never been used or even imagined until now : the general strike of the birth . In other words, stop making children and provide new slaves to the system, as global demands have not been met. Private new slaves and consumers to operate the system would be sentenced to medium term and would have to give . Like any ultimate weapon , it has a drawback : if the Masters of the World refuse to give , stopping birth mean the end of humanity. But humanity being prepared for us ( based implants , clones , genetic manipulation , human- animal hybrids , all on a planet ravaged ) is it still humanity? Create new economic circuits The trading system was invented there more than 5000 years to link the resources and needs. In developing this system has to provide material comfort and prosperity could not be achieved otherwise. But today, this system is increasingly unable to fulfill its mission. He became both unable to meet the needs of the greatest number. The economic system leaves key millions of people in the third world as in the developed countries. Meanwhile, the economic system became unable to use the resources , leaving millions of people unemployed , and confining many employees in positions where they can express their true potential . Many talents and many minds are so spoiled and finally asleep or destroyed , because they have been used and stimulated. This it is necessary to take note of the failure of the economic system , and create another system, ie a whole new economic system , with its businesses, banks, and employees, and a different system money to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. This new type of currency shall be denominated in time units to establish a clear equivalence between time and money. For example, when a person would work five hours , she would receive five units of time, with which it could buy five hours of other peoples time , or otherwise made , products that have necessity 5 hours of work for their production. The time - cost of a product should incorporate : - The time was needto make the product - The time was needto make tool production back to the fraction of time Website Usage of this tool for the manufacture of the product - The time used for marketing and administrative management - The time used for research and development - And finally , a fraction of time to finance future investments The distribution of time cost of a product should be transparent , and mentioned on the product labeling. Associations barter or trade in services as the SEL are the first attempts at an alternative economic system. Exploit the gap between the official values and reality The system must maintain the appearance of democracy , and the official values of our society are still expected to be freedom , human rights, justice , equality before the law, the primacy of the general interest ... So just to rest against - powers problems flat and demonstrate that these core values are violated , including those supposed to be the guarantors .
