At the end of the above video the anti terrorist explains precisely what to do.
If you can't beat them...join them.
The more that join, the more their house of cards crumbles.
This is basically the concept behind anarcho-syndicalism as regards change, its all about sabotage, hence the sabotage cat used on the AS flag symbolizing that concept.
It is NOT easy, nor do I expect everyone to be able to do it on their own, hence why I approve of places like Mondragon which provides the opportunity for a large number to partake in this change.
Mondragon itself is not perfect, nor do I expect it to be, it is the end goal I see from such effort that I approve of.
The specifics are something you can discuss/argue about/whatever.
I'd like you to be aware that this year I did my tax return, I offered to pay the govt 3000 euros which is less than a fifth what I would have paid under a PAYE scheme...they decided to give me 1000 quid rebate back and also gave me some rent allowance to boot, I think it was 800 quid. So I paid about 1200 tax for the entire year on an initial income of well in excess of 80,000.
In addition I paid sod all VAT, I just collected it for revenue. *cough*.
Its about time people got really pissed off at this and did something about it, app and gris touch on how to approach doing this and I also have offered a way of addressing it.
Were I in a normal job I would definitely have paid 16000 in income tax, a shitload in VAT, then a pile on national insurance and what exactly would I have got in return for it?
Come on...smell the coffee.
