Revolution Against Capitalist

I just would like to share what in my mind via my blog because the news about demonstrations “anti wall street” took my attention. As we know that the headline news on every information medias mentioned that there were many demonstrations against capitalist happened in 82 countries from 4 continents. 

First time demonstration was done by some college students by staying overnight on Zuccoti Park, New York, US. They worried about their future when government cut the budget from some sectors. They blamed banks which made policy, and it’s in conflict with reality in public. Their action took public attention, and get supports from many people. Some people started to join. And demonstration of “anti wall street” began.

When the amount of demonstrators increased, more than 700 people got arrested last week in Broklyn Bridge. It did not make the supporters decrease, on the contrary, the demonstrators increase, even it influenced to many countries. Then thousands people walked on the street to join the demonstrations without a leader. They are the leader. They united to express their disappointment of the economy system that made the gap between the rich men (described as 1%) and 99% of the rest. They protested to some big companies and banks for their greediness. They hailed “Occupy Wall Street”, in some areas in US, like in Chicago, they mentioned “Occupy Chicago”, in London they said “Occupy London”.

The demonstration spread to many countries in 4 continents (England, Italy, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, etc). Thousands people involved in global demonstrations in the whole world.

In England, on October 15^th, 2011 there were more than two thousands join in demonstration in front of St. Cathedral, London, the center of economiy in England. They protested the banks often issued policies getting to side to rich men.

Julian Assange, the creator of Wikileaks, with some guards also joint in demonstration in London. He wished there were results from the demo, it’s the revolution against capitalist.

In his discourse at Gajah Mada University on October 17^th, 2011, the Indonesian Vice President, Boediono commented about the global demonstration, he said that the demonstrations happened because the economic system was in conflict with the public reality. People did not believe with the economic system issued by mostly governments in the world. And he also said that the demonstrations happened would push to create a new balance in the market mechanism done by mostly government in the world. The financial in global market was getting more uncontrolled strongly, and it created the financial crisis and global economy crisis. The financial sector focused on increasing additional value of products did not have underlying, and in the time, the bubble started to break.
