DJP: “You can not only say
DJP: “You can not only say this about land, but anything that takes the form of private property, think about it…”I know, I have referred to that very same premise consistently. And it is one of my main points to the whole idea: that people come to realise that by doing: by reclaiming such a basic aspect of living that is producing food.At the moment people are hung-up on the “fact” that we need all the businesses to live. We don’t need supermarket owned markets, farms, distribution systems; we don’t need energy companies that claim ownership to oil and gas fields and that own the power stations; we don’t need the state that regulates how and what people can and cannot do in their lives. Unfortunately, the vast majority people either aren’t conscious of this or, they think it somewhere in the backs of their minds but are too scared to put it to the test.If we can give people a relatively easy way to bring out that doubt into the fore and to get people to question openly the apparent “need” that we are tricked into thinking we have of the state, the business and money then we can trigger a bigger movement somewhere down the line. Discussion groups and literature help to do this, what we need is something else-something extra-for people that do not participate or do not want to participate/feel capable of doing so for one reason or another. I’m not saying “change the message” or principles or anything of the sort. What I’m saying is change something to let more and more people realise what we want them to realise.There’s going to be little joy in relying on living conditions to reduce and people’s frustration to build up to such terrible levels that people are somehow going to spontaneously wake up one day and say “socialism is the way to go for me”.
