I read in the papers yesterday the Pope proclaimed both communism and capitalism - dead.
Indeed, as many in the former Eastern bloc naively say communism is unnatural, it is hard not to notice the 'natural' nature of capitalism when you give your entrepreneur acquaintance one-third of your salary - instead of the cover-up of working for a corporation.
It is well the great Founding Fathers of America remarked the inequality of men is inherited, biology-wise. However, they also maintained power should never turn into oppression - which is the true reason for the right to bear arms - not the ridiculous situations we sometimes today find ourselves in.
Massacres are never the solution indeed - it is doubtful whether any good comes out of violent topplings - as witnessed by coup countries. As Marx proves, the weapon is - ideology.
Now, in an age of small and big nations, a framework that obviously does not work, and huge corporations, some with dizzying budgets and most-often-than-not no agendas at all, the attention I think is to be turned to the concept of community.
What is needed is a radical reinterpretation on the Greek polis. The raw is there - prominent individuals helping the young and Africa, writers and journalists, NGOs like Greenpeace.
However, what we really need is more examples, instead of agitation. Then people will copy.
If I earn the extra kuna, hell - I'm opting for a small-scale outdoor advertising. I even learned the other day there is a special tax for that. I shall juxtapose the images from the League of Nations with ones from the UN. No text.

The weapon is marketing. We should ban stupid commercials that come in the middle of movies with blood, violence and death, and have commercials with more good examples instead. Also, a daily newspaper with good news only.
