^ Pretty.

In other news, I've been reading an excellent blog: http://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/ The guy is called Michael Roberts, he's a marxist economist and pretty well known at that too. He bases his analysis on the law of the falling rate of profit as the cause of recurrent crises in the capitalist economy. He wrote an excellent (very) brief article in which he summarizes his analysis of the on-going crisis: http://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2 ... it-is-key/

Anyone interested in non-mainstream economics, take a look :up:

I read some guys on the internet quickly saying most states in the US are doing their own revolution not in a violent way but by creating their own parallel societies, parallel money (like using actual gold/silver) and that the power of the USA only exist from our symbolic worldwide system of representation.
It wasn't the subject so he didn't tell more about it but I would like to know if he's true and if he is, if you could give me more informations about it please ^^

(not most but some of)

Btw, sorry about the double post but now that I think about it, I've also seen that vid on YT : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9geXO6V5OU
You'll see NYC rappers giving their op about carrying weapons and they're all for it, saying they kinda feel in danger with the police around them and as long as policemen have weapons, they want to have their own ones too. USA makes me scared sometimes...

That sounds like some of the activities on the extremely laissez-faire capitalist side, especially in the anarcho-capitalist or agorist camps. But except for a vocal minority and some talking heads, that's not common (especially as some of that kind of talk gets into doomsday prepping territory that very few take seriously). There may be talk, but I've certainly not noticed anything like that happen in reality.

It never hurts to ask, but you shouldn't let a few whack jobs on the internet make you think an entire country is a scary place.
