"This manual shows us the ways in which we
are all made to pay for basic social survival—for the rest of our lives.
This is the traditional idea of a “debtor”—a person who borrowed money
and owes a sum of money to a bank or government agency. This is fairly
straightforward and most people are beginning to understand this: mafia
capitalism means that governments make cuts and the people have to go
into debt to survive. The burden of sustaining “life” gets shifted from
the state to the individual and household. Most households are drowning
in various forms of debt; it is a way of controlling us—making us weak,
afraid and financially unstable.
Our whole system runs on debt and credit—our households, our cities, our countries and all those who slip between the cracks. From municipal bonds that we never agreed to, to the low-income or unemployed worker forced to take payday loans after being excluded from “mainstream” credit, the whole word has become indebted. This is how the 1% maintains its wealth and power.
Anyone fighting the 1% is a debt resistor. We are all debtors now."
