Europe vs America

ser | 23.04.2003 14:33

the only realistic challenge to american economic global dominance

Europe vs America
Europe vs America


Don't want to live in a world where all the decisions are made by American government and all economic policy's for every nation are made for their comercial and profit benefit?

Obviously say no and act against the WTO, IMF and World Bank aswell as the multinationals(McPrift and Starbu$h etc)

The only realistic challenge would come from the European Union, it has many idioti politicians but its future is not set in stone yet, its still in the making and we have a real oppurtunity to create a European Union against American power and exploitation.

Want to at least help to prevent the dollar bill from controlling the world, use the Euro, trade in it,

Dollar vs Euro

23.04.2003 15:01

OK, the dollar is very very bad...I agree.

But is the Euro the solution?

Smells of white pigs?

Why not the newly floated Chienese money.
Why not another system that does not come from 4 centuries old failures. The british pound statrted it all off.

I say dollar and euro up the white pig arse!
OK if they are goign to fight it out with all their illegal weaponary yes let it be a cause for this.

But down with the pig system.

Racism of Indymedia

23.04.2003 15:05

Can the above racist comments not be removed? They are offensive to say the least. Ram you are a racist..stand tall and feel proud.

Racism is Ram

23.04.2003 15:23

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Ask yourself ..are you a pig or a human?

Are pigs inferior to humans?

All I am doing is making my point forcefully.

4 dictionary

23.04.2003 15:35

My statements are only prroved to be right by you quoting a dictionary I suppose.

I you were white you do not become a white pig.
It is the action. Nothing to do with character or ability.

Maybe you want to write to dictionary and define racisn again to inclede me as a racist.

I am highlighting the nasty actions being doen at present. When they stop probably I will calm doen as there will not nbe a need to be prompt like this. Maybe there will be time one fine day to be forceful ina a different way.

'Discrimination or prejudice based on race' is also not my fault.

The original post suggests that we trade in Euro instead of dollars. As we all know if we do not dismantle the unfair global economic system first then we, by adopting another racist currency are being white pigs.

Are you a white pig or a human?

Leave pigs alone!

23.04.2003 15:36

I wish i was a pig, they are intelligent sociable creatures who just like to happen to wallow around in mud!

I'd rather be a pig than a human, at least pigs don't go to war! Better than being a Ram (sheep).

Hypocrisy

23.04.2003 15:39

All your doing is being obnoxious, arrogant, ignorant, immature and rude i'm afraid. Your detracting from any valid points you might be making. I don't want to ask myself any questions I just want to say that.

Dictionary


Sorry pig

23.04.2003 15:41

Just by wishing to be a pig you cannot become a pig. Even a white pig is actualy human in 'character or ability'.

If you wallow in mud you will catch a cold.

White pigs commit actions that propagate the white pig system.

Anyhow how coem no one jump[s up when the polic force is called pigs!

Leave me alone. This is expressive power. If you have better words to suggest go ahead.

Police are scum not pigs

23.04.2003 15:57

I prefer to call police scum not pigs. Pigs are intelligent, police aren't.

I like white pigs, black pigs, pink pigs, multicoloured pigs and the wild boar that run round the woods in Kent (and elsewhre in the world). I don't discriminate against different coloured pigs, cos they are all the same underneath.

It's not the white pigs who are responsible for the world's problems, most of 'em end up in bacon sandwiches, its the humans that are causing the destruction of the world.

Animal Lover


Humans causing problems?

23.04.2003 16:56

No humans are er. Even a rela pig can er. Like slip and fall in the mud.

But this is an oragnised plot y the white pigs. The white pig leaders are all part of one cabal and the white pigs who do not do anything about it are basking in the benefits.
To them reading the Sun about Galloway's juicy women is welcome pig swill. One need not read the Sun to beceom a white pig ...there are far too many things now that it si true you will have to be monk not to be white pig if you unforunate to be in the pig west.

Sracsm: If was a pig I let you decide it. shout loud 'WHITE PIG' and if it pisses me off I am a white pig too.
For your information I was once a baby then a teenager and slowly turned into a white pig then I hope woke up!

Anyhow Dollar or Euro ...who cares...it is pig swill.

Bring down the white pig system.

And believe me I am not a police scum/pig as some have started to suggest lately.

if you hate white imperialism so much why did you argue for a platform for facists?

u.s and them?

23.04.2003 17:32

Why try to create an atmospehere of us and them? Can the Euro really turn into something to that stops/decreases the american influence on all markets? Has the writer of this article read his homework? I think we should ask why Euro came about and why the Germans wrote such undemocratic rules of the Euro. Rules that cannot be altered. Surely, the history of Euro has not been written in stone but can millions of people from different cultures, with different markets and economies unite under the Euro?
There is something wrong with America, with WTO, IMF etc. The political environment across all industrial countries are heading towards that direction, where democracy is becoming a Europe is heading towards the United States of Europe, the Euro is a step in that direction. Countries such as England and Sweden can do more outside the Euro than within. To look back in history you can observe the fact that non governmental movements can acchieve more than the parties themselves. Eg. women's right to vote, FNL etc.
In this case it is about a massive bureaucratic currency, in order to decrease democracy in Europe and leave all markets "free and open". This is why the countries who does not have Euro have to remain where they are. The Euro cannot be seen as a project for freedom or suchlike. Those gates closed a long time ago.

Why are you blurting out big words like Imperialism and facism. I would appreciate simple straight language.

I take it that you are refeing to one of my comments against another comment denying BNP posts in IMC-UK.

I have answered it many times dig around for a complete answer. ANd for fucks sake leave me alone...I am no politician who gets paid in barrels of oil!

What I will do is enligten you exactly where the white pig headquarers is.
It is in a distant city acros the vast ocean called Washington DC.
Maybe you wan to go there and thrwo firebombs at thenm white pigs?

Not in Tower Hamlets.

Don't give a shite about them. They are best left to speak and they will realise that they have nothing to say. A bit like if you tell your kid not to smoke spliffs at home he might go and hang around a crack house.

Get it my child?

One Point That Might help:

24.04.2003 01:46

On a global basis, switching to the Euro by as many people in as many countries as possible will encourage global investors to invest in the Euro at the expense of the U.S. dollar. It will decline in value, the U.S. will have more difficulty making up for its trade deficits, causing its economy to tank and rendering much more difficult, if not impossible, its ability to finance its imperial wars. It is a good economic tactic IF applied on a global scale.

To put it another way, it would be a good way for us worldwide to turn the American capitalist globalisation monster against it!

STOP NYC Inc.

First is this theory right?
Do we need another global experimentation to proove another McPig theory?

(white pigs are now McPigs so all you anti globalisation kids will not hound me down....I am politician you know)

Listen thats what I at least tried to convey about the Euro and Europe;i know its full of idiots but lets at least be optimistic, the EU is not finished yet and we are not one united area yet, we have the ability to change everything in europe far more than anyone has in America.

I believe in a united socialist Europe and the Euro although at the moment a bit of a beaurocracy is the only serious way of attempting to block american economic dominance, thus reducing its political power and influence.

so you protest with your not in your name signs, been there bought the T-Shirt it did nothing, the only way to hurt them is through their global economy and global economic power, like you say this is an imperialist war?and what caused that;capitalism. So the only way unless you think we're going to do a workers revolution tommorrow is make the Euro capitalists compete with the American one's.

The Euro is a capitalis, corporate currency i know but the pound isn't?
c'mon we would much rather live in a multicultural Europe then in a little England island where we are preached the holy right wing Gospel by Rupert Murdoch.

at this stage the only realistic war is to boycott the dollar and use the Euro.

EUROPA PARA SIEMPRE

ES MEJOR QUE EL $

We can create a new Europe that moves away from being the client states of the American empire, what do you want, American colony or indpendant Europe?!

NO U$A IN EUROPA
