It seems that my friend Nick was right after all. When I met him yesterday morning, staggering home after a long night on the beer, he told me that the world was going to end soon. Well, at least the world as we have known it for some time.
Today the financial 'markets' - which are in fact really large gambling dens for the super-rich - all over the world have seen another massive collapse of the capitalist system.
Iceland avoided to become a failed state only through a state of emergency and nationalisation of their banks, and many ore countries will go down the same route.
We are fucked. Smashed to pieces by the criminals in Washington and New York!
That they almost destroyed themselves in the process is only a minor compensation.
If you need proof that capitalism is dead, today is the day. The system ruled by money, greed and arrogance is no more.
This should be reason for joy. People should be out in the streets, celebrating. But of course they aren't. Because the corpse of capitalism, not even cold yet, is replaced by - guess what?
More capitalism.
Those we were foolish enough to put in charge of our nations have no imagination, no ideas and no flexibility. All they know is money, and so they think they can solve everything with money.
The state has billions of deficit, so what do we do? We borrow even more billions, to make the deficit larger.
We have learned absolutely nothing from history, behave reckless and irresponsible, and are probably the biggest fools that have ever lived on Earth.
Will we change anything now? Of course not. Capitalism is dead, so long live capitalism!
Welcome to the 21st century, the era of collective mass suicide!
