Greetings from Spain.
I want to tell you that we are not only youth people, there are people of all ages: children, medium-age and old people which are involved on this social movement.

There are happening an authentic REVOLUTION in Spain Now and the mass media don´t show all.

Please help us to spread what is happening. Only it is reliable what the citizens explain by internet, especially in the groups of Facebook and in Twitter with the trending toppics #spanishrevolution, #globalcamp, #acampadasol and many others corresponding to the more than 600 camped that there is by all the world.

Join the #spanishrevolution #acampadasol and others. Help us to tell all the world what we are doing in Spain as an example to all the world, we are changing our roles in society, we can change this world of capitalism, the change is NOW, the revolution had started. From Spain through the world!!!

In response to the improbable productivist « innovation » proposed by political leaders of all stripes as a solution to the crisis, Spanish youth are mobilising for major social innovation  in a break with capitalism.  The way forward may still be vague, but the point of departure is clear: a radical renewal of ‘actually-existing’ democracy, where  utilitarianism is the basic principle, democracy is for the rich and breeds corruption, social exclusion , destruction of the environment, democracy with all its green, pink, security and magic solutions, all with technological answers as a way out of the impasse in order to ”securely” return to business as usual.?These young people have a very different reading of the world and of the fundamental crisis of civilization we are going through. Undoubtedly as surprised as anyone by the massive – and intergenerational – response to their call, they are now faced with writing a new page of history, nothing less. But they do have at least one important asset: unemcumbered by ties, they have demonstrated their capacity for initiative and innovation and their inherent desire to create. And you? and me? and all the rest of us? Where are we?
