Organizing Thoughts 13 (On Christmas Day)

This is how it will work.

There will be no more money, and no more bank accounts. Capitalism will no longer establish any one’s “worth.”

Everyone will shop, instead, with credits they acquire contributing to the common good (and they will continually shop not just for themselves, but for others).

Under this system, some of those who are currently poor or not well paid will be wealthy, and the wealthy — well! They should think now about a certain difficulty associated with getting a camel through the eye of needle. For the idea is for “heaven” to be achieved on earth.

The meek will not have to wait to inherit anything. There will be no exploitation of others — no matter how indirect, no matter how seemingly minor. Everyone will act for the good of all, or find somewhere else to go. For as one Occupier in Edmonton writes by way of signature on his listserv posts, “I hear a new world coming.”
