“Today’s riots have been characterised by opportunist looting on a scale which befits our era of wanton materialist consumerism […].

This is rioting-meets-shopping. It does not […] feel like an “appeal from the heart of the ghetto” so much as an opportunity “to get a nice new pair of trainers.” Not so much desperate as decadent”

Somebody expected the #SpanishRevolution

Spaniards did not decide on 15May to occupy Spanish squares against the government and the system: they organised and planned it thanks to facebook and twitter.

And, above all, they finally acknowledged that nothing good can come from political parties.

In other countries people still prefer lazy shortcuts (such as elections) which, unfortunately, won’t ever change the system. Simply because they ARE part of the system.
