As the European
Union, England, and the corporate giants who are more powerful than countries
warn Scotland to remain in the
game, I hope they will vote yes, and
become independent.
The world needs a major country that is
nationalistic for real. Straightaway after WWII the Bretton Woods system began
the cascade of treaties that have brought us today to this insane and failing
state of capitalism. All the conservatives and fascists who argue that there is
any free market stuff going on are full of it. Everything is regulated and the
markets are as rigged as a casino - for the benefit of a tiny minority. Wiser
countries tax the corporations more than the US and so their majority
populations have a few “nice things – “ like public transportation and health care.
The network of “free
trade” and economic stability is exactly what the corporations say is
threatened. Think of it this way, if you will: After decades of consolidation of economic power into fewer
and fewer hands, after every step of the way we were assured that the reforms
would benefit us, we are now to believe that the system is too fragile to allow
one small (only in square kilometers, not in influence) country to drop out and
renegotiate it’s economy as its own people decide.
