Hello OWS!
I don’t want to waste your time so I’ll be brief.
I think you should start a new civilization.

If you can raise $7m for a rolling jubilee it should be easy to raise money for a new society. I read this fictional story called “Manna” where someone did this by getting everyone to pay $1k into a fund which was used to buy land, minerals, water, etc everything they would need. It had something like a million people sign up so they had a $billion to start out. After it was set up they went and rescued all the people [from capitalism] who paid into it and took them to this new society. Think about it…

Instead of funding a private militia to protect activists… or paying off fictional debt… or whatever flavour of the month political protest… just go whole hog. I have people sending me emails every day asking to join something like this. I would join something like this. It doesn’t even have to be US based, you can get land and resources anywhere.

What do you say?
