Are you attending the obituary in Washington this weekend?

[xieu...@gmail.com]

Most fantasized with terrible nuclear wars, famine, Blade Runner style
societies, etc. Others maybe fantasized with Star Wars chapter 2, once
its counterpart, the soviet economy, died or was killed with
Plutonium, with chapter 1. Few would believe that Capitalism would die
in Washington, and in a peaceful meeting that counted among its
attendees with the president of the USA, premiers from United Kingdom,
Germany, Japan, etc. Probably all of them will applaud at the end of
that meeting, who could predict that moment one year ago or in 1945?.
I would not miss such historic, glorious and funny moment if I would
be in your shoes.

Capitalism was born vigorously in England, two centuries ago. People
from everywhere attended business meetings to raise capital in order
to acquire vapour engines, machinery, coal, factories, with such
capital. To pay wages. To sell, to produce, to acquire more, to sell
more, to produce faster, to raise fresh capital faster, more, more,
more, faster, faster, faster in a race against time and against the
history of the humankind where everything needs its cooking time. But
Capital was power at that time. At that time some people from
Liverpool chanted All you need is capital, while others in America
replied Capital is in the air. That air was polluted with Capital but
also with smoke from the factories of Liverpool, New York, Manchester,
London, Hamburg, etc. Politicians told to poor workers (politely
called citizens since now on) go to work, go to bed, go to work, go to
bed, like the tic-tac of a clock. Years later, in America, around 1980
other politicians added “go shopping !” . And, at its peak, we had the
final macroeconomic theory of Capitalism “go work, go shopping, go to
bed”.

Which sickness could murder such perfect clock? A crisis from 1968 to
1973 gave the first sign. From global charming the Capitalist world
moved to global warning. People in Liverpool chanted All you need is
love, and the Americans replied Love is in the air. Pollution in the
air finally gave way to global warming after 200 years producing smoke
in Liverpool and Chicago that Asians, Africans and Latinamericans had
to suffer silently along those 200 years. Kissinger asked Mao to
integrate China in the global economy and the Soviet Union and USA
were signing treats to have less weapons. The little human being asked
to itself why not “make love not war” instead of “go work, go
shopping, go to bed”? The world woke up on October 1973 and went to
the warm ro factories, then shopping and went to bed, again and again
as a clock, as capitalists told to that little human beings. Was “make
love, not war” just a dream? Not really. In Vietnam and then years
later in Iraq and Afghanistan, Capitalism realized the hidden cost of
wars, trillions of dollars to the trash can, millions of human beings
to death and years lost. Asia invented a new way to raise capital,
without stock markets, without wars. Just exports, foreign surplus,
state owned corporations and sovereign wealth funds. Capitalists in
Europe and America still though that media and propaganda was more
powerful than capital, ironic.

Capitalists became speculators hunting like dogs one place under the
heaven where their capital could make some profit, it made them
realize that Asians were not poor dogs but people who know how to rise
capital but in a different way this time. Capital was no longer the
source of power and progress. The ancient song All you need is Capital
was forgotten and confined to the books of history of economics.

With the stronger propaganda that capitalist media even produced,
Paulson and Bernanke sang the Washington circus instead of the
Scarborough fair, in order to rise $700bn from the workers to buy
troubled assets. Once they realized that it was the wrong lyrics, they
decided to take healthy stake in banks as they boy from Liverpool did
and finally to sit in a chair listening those capitalists that in a
row came to them asking for a little rescue plan (any billions for me
Sir, please? am I too big to fail, Sir?). The China decided to build
railways, roads, power plants, etc. like a bridge over troubled
waters, the sounds of silence was all what we could hear at the other
side of the Pacific ocean.

$700bn was useless. As the Japanese decided years ago that to build a
sovereign wealth fund was useless, what can we do with such amount of
money except to keep them in our foreign reserves?. As the Chinese had
realized with their $1.8 trillions, Saudia, Singapore, the little
states in the Gulf. They all realised that Capital was useless. Two
centuries ago it was time to born and rise vigorously, now it was time
to die in a sweat death. Capital was no longer the source of power and
therefore Capitalism was died.

This weekend in Washington the bigger capitalists countries gather
together with a few emerging economies that practice socialism with
local characteristics, development from below, or other theories that
Karl Marx would applaud and join. The party is over. Let us release
the cables and let the patient die sweetly within two or three years.

A new system is rising vigorously. A rescue plan that proved how to
grow two digits along decades and how to rescue hundreds of millions
away from poverty.

Dynasties come and go, empires come and go, politic systems come and
go, economic systems come and go. Only clocks remain, always telling
us make love not war.

While the little human being who makes that world go around, as usual,
just want a nice job, decent wages, a nice family, good friends, some
entertainment from time to time and to feel that they do their best
with their life. While the clock still sings tic-tac for us.

Beautifully written! APPLAUSE!!!

I have changed the title to reflect American English usage. You could
also have written, "Are you attending the Reading (or the Writing) of
the Obituary in Washington this Weekend?"

==========
My comments: I hope you are correct. Washington, under this
President, will retain some elements of Capitalism. He cannot go home
empty-handed. In addition, this group of 20 will not be prepared to
force Washington or even the IMF to disgard the old principles because
none are ready to turn their backs on Washington -- something they
would have to do since this President is ill-prepared philosophically
as well as intellectually to face complete failure.

Like you wrote, in one or two years, if the US is not prepared to go
along, they will be left along side of the road. It will be up to
Obama.

There are a few words I would like to change in this to make the
English perfect. I will do so and send it to you by gmail in case you
ever wish to print this in another publication.

Thank you very much, Justice !

(((((Justice)))))

No, I did not intend to publish it. It is just thoughts for friends.
But, I would like to keep this message because I am pretty sure that I
will use it within two years. If you fix it for me it would be
wonderful. Thank you very much.

(((((Justice)))))

About its content. There is no change with my first message on the
thread, "Bretton Woods 2. How much can we expect?".
http://groups.google.com/group/world-thread/browse_thread/thread/238abe7c71803a2c#

We have talked millions of hours, we have wasted tonnes of paper and
electricity. But the destiny and the roadmap is what it is.

It will look like very littlle, but it is a huge and decissive leap
ahead. This weekend we are crossing the point of no return.

Peace and best wishes.

Done and sent.

So well written -- so lyrical and yet hard-hitting.

Most people fantasized famine, Blade Runner style societies, nuclear
holocaust. Others maybe fantasized Star Wars chapter 2, once

its counterpart, the soviet economy, died or was killed with

Plutonium, in chapter 1. Few would believe that Capitalism would die

in Washington, and in a peaceful meeting that counted among its

attendees the president of the USA, prime ministers and premiers from
the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and others. Probably many of them
will applaud at the end of that meeting. Who could predict that
moment one year ago or in 1945? I would not miss such a historic,
glorious and funny moment if I were in your shoes.

Capitalism had a vigorous beginning in England, two centuries ago.
People from every corner of the world attended business meetings to

raise capital in order to acquire vapour engines, machinery, coal,

factories, with such capital. To be used to pay wages, to sell, to

produce, to acquire more, to sell more, to produce faster, to raise
fresh capital faster, more, more, more, faster, faster, faster in a

race against time and against the history of humankind where
everything needs its own, unique time to cook. But Capital
represented most of the power, even then. At that time some people

from Liverpool chanted All you need is capital, while others in
America replied Capital is in the air. That air was polluted with
Capital but also with smoke from the factories of Liverpool, New York,

Manchester, London, Hamburg, etc. Politicians told poor workers
(politely called citizens from that time forward) go to work, go to
bed, go to work, go to bed, like the tick-tock of a clock. Years

later, in America, around 1980 other politicians added "go
shopping !" . And, at its peak, we had the final macroeconomic theory

of Capitalism "go to work, go shopping, go to bed".

Which sickness could murder such a perfect clock? A crisis from 1968

to 1973 gave the first sign. From global charming the Capitalist
world
moved to global warning. People in Liverpool chanted "All you need
is

love," and the Americans replied "Love is in the air". But pollution

in the
air finally gave way to global warming after 200 years producing
smoke
in Liverpool and Chicago that Asians, Africans and Latinamericans had

to suffer silently for 200 years. Kissinger asked Mao to integrate

China in the global economy and the Soviet Union and USA were signing

treaties to reduce weapons. The little human being asked itself why
not "make love not war" instead of "go to work, go shopping, go to
bed"?

The world woke up in October 1973 and went to the warm factories, then
shopping and then to bed, over and over like clockwork, as the
capitalists advised, orders came top-down. Was "make love, not war"

just a dream? Not really. In Vietnam and then years later in Iraq and
Afghanistan, Capitalism realized the hidden cost of wars, trillions of

dollars into the trash can, millions of human beings dead, and years

lost.

Asia invented a new way to raise capital, without stock markets,
without wars. Just exports, foreign surplus, state owned corporations
and sovereign wealth funds. Capitalists in Europe and America still

believed that media and propaganda was more powerful than actual
Capital, ironic.

Capitalists became speculators hunting like dogs anyplace under the
heaven where their capital could make a profit. It made them realize
that Asians were not poor dogs but people who know how to raise
capital but in a different way. Capital was no longer the source of

the feeding tubes and let the patient die sweetly within two or three

While the clock still goes tick-tock for us.

Dynasties come and go, empires come and go, political systems come and

go, economic systems come and go. Only clocks remain, always

whispering us make love not war, tick-tock, make love not war.
