Power relationships


In a sick world of greed and hedonism, NGOs, activists, social movements, Occupy, indignad@s and, in general, millions of committed and militant people struggle every day  against the symptoms of this disease.

The world's most vulnerable, especially women and children bear the brunt, suffering more than any inhabitant the consequences of social inequality, of armed conflicts, of injustice and discrimination.

A world based on power relationships: the power of weapons, the power of capital.


Subjugated peoples by force of arms and by the interest of capital.

People abandoned by their governments and the international community.

Arms trade and tax havens: a vicious circle of death, rapes, forced displacements, discrimination, exclusion, poverty and social injustice for the 99%. As well as a virtuous circle of power, economic benefits and political influence for the 1%.

Only external factors will be able to break this cycle. Millions of committed and militant people struggle every day  against the symptoms of the disease, but the ultimate cure depends on each and every one of us. We, the 99%, are the external factors that will break the vicious circle in which we operate. 

Change starts within ourselves, to the extent that we become advocates for social and ecological justice.
