Every year is a needy year for movements all over the world. There is a constant array of injustice that prevails. However, there have been a few decades of prosperity in the west that overshadowed the dormant needs. During the Tech Bubble, while companies in the technology sector rode the Internet wave of prosperity and stocks seemed to go higher and higher with no sense of rhyme or reason, the mantra was to buy a computer, invest online and become rich.
When that bubble burst and after the suicides there was a more reasonable prosperity that set in built on the tech young billionaire and millionaire clubs.
Today there is no doubt that the economy of greed has caught up with the hunger of need. Everyone is a wall street investment away from poverty. those who depended on pension funds that disappeared or Bernie Madoff that never appeared, the rich and the middle class has joined the starving masses.
Now the government and the businesses have been unmasked as being in the game to support each other while every citizen must fend for themselves. Not only do ordinary citizens openly have to find their own way out of this mess they are being tapped to fund government and large corporations out of their mess that they together created.
They pay lip service to serving the poor. In reality they don;t even know how to respect people beneath their class. They only respect power and so a people's movement that flexes the muscles of ordinary citizens is due to rise. Check out the steps and stages of a mass movement.
