Ne možete izbeći ideju čije je vreme došlo!
Ove reči izražavaju moto današnjeg globalnog pokreta protiv vladavine novca nad životom. One pripadaju ljudima, onim 99%, koji izražavaju naše glolokalne probleme na ulicama, u medijima, u prostorima javne savesti, u školama i univerzitetima, na poslu, kod kuće, kao i u intimnim odnosima i privatnim diskusijama.

Kids in Banja Luka, the city of Republic of Srpska, resisted the heavy machinery that was on its way to turn their playground into parking. Weapons of 5 to 12 years old kids were improvised barricades, eggs and tomatoes, night sabotages, drawings and poetry.

A recent article published in THE NATIONAL newspaper in the United Arab Emirates. An interesting point stated "... the Arab Spring itself is part of a global wave of unrest triggered ultimately by the ongoing disorderly collapse of globalisation in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008." http://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/books/why-its-kicking-off-everywhere-the-contagion-of-revolution Re…
