It's time for the State to bow before the might of humanity

I'm fed up with the wilfully ignorant.  I'm fed up with the apathetic.  I'm fed up with our elected leaders representing the minority, and I'm entirely pissed off with the peoples inability to organise a resistance. In the face of something we detest, it seems the greatest we can muster are a few thousand people marching around with placards.  Seriously, what is this going to achieve?  

Government and companies listen only to the sound of money.  I don't believe they do this because they are evil, they do it because they think society needs to be run like a business.  They do it because they think if business does well then society will benefit.  But rarely are those "benefits" applied to help the vast majority of people, leaving us with a perpetual cycle of society being run for business, which provides "benefits" to society who use them to improve business.

It seems the only organisations capable of providing direct social benefit are charities, yet charities have to be run and organised like businesses, competing with each other for funding contracts and the limited loose change in our pockets.  If something is of true social value then together as the human race we should be making it happen.  We have the ability, the means, the intelligence and the knowledge to do so many great things yet we are stuck waiting for our incapable leaders to pollute our ideals into a convoluted international agreement which provides handy loop holes for the rich and powerful to avoid their duty.

How can we change that?  I believe the answer is simple, peaceful civil disobedience.  Government only has power over us if every day we grant it to them.  Take a small example, the increase in train ticket prices.  If we want to make the point that we disagree then organise a day on which everyone refuses to pay for their ticket.  I would encourage people to board trains without paying and refusing to pay should you be asked.  Done on individual cases then people will be vulnerable.  Done en mass and with the support of train drivers, security guards and others then the train companies and government are forced to pay attention.

A 2nd example: Rich companies avoiding tax, which every big company in the UK spends thousands of pounds trying to do.  Already the solution has been practised, but on too small a scale.  Prevent these organisations from operating by crowding their places of business.  Are Top Shop still avoiding millions of pounds of tax?  Then march into your local Top Shop on their busiest trade day and queue up at the till and when it's your turn just waste the cashiers time. You will limit the companies ability to do business. The message? Either the company pays their fare share of tax or they have no place in our society.

We need to get organised and get active.  Apathy is killing our children’s future.
