Barely 24 hours to go and we can all get busy voting and exercising our democratic rights and that kind of thing. Won’t it be grand? However, as I have droned on already, don’t expect some radical transformation. Instead of waiting for some motormouth gimp in a suit to restore the gaiety of nations why not get out there and sort things out for yourself? Take control now.
First of all stop watching television at least some of the time and preferably all of the time. Even better, destroy your television. Never mind the garbage it pumps out in to your home, a television will suck the life out of you. You have been warned. Secondly, stop buying stuff. You might argue that there are some things you need and cannot do without – food I’m thinking of here. I won’t dispute that. But at the very least, buy real food and then cook it, with love, lots of love. Most other things you can do without. You really can. In a way, I’m trying to bring down capitalism but I really don’t want to have to go around shooting people. In fact, can I just make clear that shooting people is not an option at all? It’s a bad thing to do.
Basically we all need to withdraw our support from the massive edifice that is global capitalism and then gradually watch it collapse under its own weight. While we all suffer huge anxiety over trying to acquire a new and shiny thingumajig we are ignoring the fact that life is literally passing us by and we should get on with loving our nearest and dearest, smiling at the trees and counting the stars. Broadly speaking none of those things need the backing, financial or otherwise, of a gonk in the City setting up leveraged buy-outs, whatever they are, or selling short, whatever that means. It’s times like this I wish my dog was in the office with me, she'd know what to do.
