david graeber - inside occupy

OCCUPY soil, water and air => SAVE the planet EARTH :-)


please do not think when on mauritius, i do nothing all day long. i have just finished reading the so great book by david graeber - inside occupy.

damn, the current system can't last for too long because it completely destroys world's nature and resources, true? ok, so what could the 99% to do against the 1% who profit from current system most? well, david graeber tells us a lot about revolution, anarchy, anarchocapitalism, freedom, democracy, the occupywallstreet (OWS) movement 2011, democratic ways of finding a consensus, about work (there is so much unneded work done at the moment) + wages + happiness, about better and sustainable societies => anarchocommunism .... just read it, it is 100% worth the time spent 😉.

anarchy, freedom, communism are the solution = anarchocommunism

anarchy = absence of control, not murder and violence at every corner as promoted by the mainstream media
 
freedom = base income for all => no existence related fear => great creativity of mankind possible
 
communism = from each according to his ability, to each according to his need (first used by louis blanc in 1851), not the communism as known from the former soviet union (= jeder nach seinen möglichkeiten, jedem nach seinen bedürfnissen)
 
anarchocommunism = something like in a family or other small communities where people help each other and share common resources. you still remember jacque fresco and his resource and demand driven economy (without money)? don't you? last but not least, let's ask plato

anarchocapitalism?

thus my friends: unite for global change + tat tvam asi => OccupyWallStreet + OccupyWarStreet + OccupyYourStreet + OccupyTogether = RealDemocracyNow :-)

tourist for a day

castle hohenschschwangau, built 1851 by the father of bavarian media star king ludwig ll

the best of all wives + myself have had a small anniversary to celebrate, 20 years of marriage. of course, many of you would say it is rather a reason to go apart, but not in our karma driven lives 😀

well, we have spent a beautiful weekend at neuschwanstein / hohenschwangau in allgäu (south-eastern bavaria, BY), the place where the ‚crazy‘ and gay bavarian fairy tale king ludwig ll also loved to spent his days. unfortunately, the neuschwanstein castle was not completely finished and the planned falkenstein castle even not commenced to build. why not? was he out of money as our today‘s governments permanently are? no, not at all. he died mysteriously at the age of 40 in the nearby starnberger lake. because he was a damn good swimmer so there was probably someone else ‚helping‘ him to die. what a pity, my dears …

anyway, his castles neuschwanstein + nymphenburg + herrenchiemsee + linderhof are a huge magnet which attracts unbelievable masses of tourists to bavaria each year. on top we shouldn‘t forget the tasty dark beer 'könig ludwig dunkel' either, cheers :-)

any lessons learned, my dear governments? make castles + beer not war :o)
what a great view from hour hotel room / balcony

all the wedding anniversary FOTOS HERE 😍

for some strange reason or an another i think our pictures are better than on average, probably because there was something in the air, if you asked me. impossible after 23 common years and 20 years as a couple? hell, decide by yourself or ask the ghost from the hotel corridor picture, my dears ...

btw, comparing to our visit to malaysia + thailand last summer, it is easy + nice to be a tourist in bavaria: nobody is cheating you no matter whether you speak chinese or japanese or russian or french (the main tourist groups as i felt). even for a horse ride to the castle you don‘t have to pay fantasy prices unlike taxi/boat tours in bangkok or kuala lumpur because the price is directly written at the coach and yes, there is a fair cost-benefit-ratio, you know?
