That’s all folks..
For some time now protesters have gathered in New York City to demonstrate against corrupt practices of Wall Street.
At first, they were dismissed as some young and not so young people who had little clue about what they were railing against and how they could initiate something better to replace the current system.
Other commentators have observed that for them to be taken seriously they needed to be there past the Winter and well into the Summer.
Yesterday, much to the delight of countries like Iran and China no doubt, they were asked to leave.
Will this mean an end to it all – probably not.
The demonstrators however need to take on board some of the comments made about them.
With out a viable alternative – which is flexible enough to be taken seriously – these well meaning folks will achieve little.
And as for those of them who complain of fascism, etc, for being removed from the heart of Capitalism, they only have to look at the way that similar gatherings were treated in Iran and China to know that is not true.
Yes there is a crisis in the Global economy, calling for its downfall without little thought of the consequences is not the solution.
You only have to take a look at the decade after the collapse of Communism in Soviet Union to know that.
