meanig gives a good explanation. The situation is deep, and the land is ours. It's been stolen by rulers and corruption. And then people work for a corrupt system that abuses, controls and limits them paying rent every month for a small box. But OK, if they want us to play this stupid economic game, we will just build our own markets, out-compete them and buy back the planet.
Empty property is everywhere in London. We occupied empty houses of the queen in January, and the police response was massive but we did a 9 hour resistance on the roof. The police would never react that way if your private property is occupied. The big response is for her majesty.

I find it ironic that the G8 magazine had an article called "Protecting Digital Economies" talking about Bitcoin with such golden quotes like:
"alternative payment mechanisms, such
as Bitcoin and a host of others, can enable
criminal and terrorist groups to launder
money and fund their operations."
"Governments of the world have the ability
right now to ban these payment mechanisms."
"If treasuries and financial institutions
around the world were to block those
transactions and permit only legitimate
currencies to be used on the internet through
regulated payment service providers and
cards (such as Visa, MasterCard and American
Express), then the flow of many billions of
dollars to criminal groups would be stemmed."
"bring about a more safe and secure
internet environment for all citizens.
If the leaders of the European Union and
United States could be convinced to take a
lead on these initiatives, that would be a huge
contribution to making the internet a safe
place for financial transactions. At the same
time, it would also strike a blow against those
who would try to destroy the fabric of our the
world’s well-being."
I love the last sentence. Quick, the sleepwalking zombies are waking up!
