Get rid of money, OWSies, go to a hugs-and-kisses economy!

Today we return to the OccupyWallStreet Forum. And, just like yesterday, somebody has some much needed advice for the OWsies. In this THREAD, "All of you are missing the point," a poster named turak tells the OWSies to forget money--get rid of money!--and instead go to an economy based on LOVE! Hugs and kisses, rather than dollars and cents, will be the coin of the realm in this NEW economy! Utopia, here we come! And you can bet you will see turak exemplify this sweet and loving attitude himself in the back-and-forth comments that follow his post.

So let us now hold hands and go skipping together into this new money-free, hugs-and-kisses world, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, stocking up on hand sanitizer, is in the [brackets]:

All of you are missing the point...

[Enlighten us, turak. What is the point?]

All of you are haggling about money. Get rid of it.

[Whoa! Radical, dude!]

Instead of a money economy: based upon corruption, opposition, selfishness and greed: create your own self-sufficient communities and economies based upon cooperation, trust and fun.

[Trust and fun! WHEEEEEE!!! "But how about trust and funds?" asks Trust Fund Ted.]

If you give someone a million dollars: are you helping them? No. They just gave you some pieces of worthless paper...

[Well . . . are you sure of that, turak? If you want to test that out, I'll be happy to take your worthless scraps of paper.]

Instead of a paper economy: create an economy based upon hugs & kisses. Have everyone pay for whatever they receive with hugs and kisses.

[So when the bank comes around looking for my mortgage payment, and I give the loan officer 1200 hugs and kisses, they'll be so pleased they'll let us stay in our house, right?]

Do you want to be rich in paper money, or rich in hugs and kisses?

[Hmmm . . . {long silence} . . . I'm thinking! I'm thinking! < /jackbenny > ]

You're all missing the point and missing the boat.

[Let's sail away on the sea of love!]

Let the 1% have all the money in the world: then do not deal with them and don't buy anything they try to sell you and don't use their money. Get rid of money.

[OK, so just let the bank have our house and we can all move out on the street and go to Zucchini Park and establish the Republic of Candyland and live on hugs and kisses! Great!]

[Well, THANK you, turak, for that inspiring vision of our brave new world! Hugs and kisses to you in abundance! You have truly shown us the way. Now let's get the reactions of the OWSies, interspersed with your kind and loving comments back (marked "turak:")]

i'm sure if we switched over to a "hugs & kisses" based economy, we would see a rise in std's... there's always a catch people.

turak: the catch is in your mind: the catch is you are disconnected from everything except resignation, passivity, specatorship, paranoia, terror, fear of the unknown, voyeurism, staring at 2-dimensional screens for the rest of your existence: the catch is in your automatic programmed negative response to anything that is positive. The catch is in your giving up before you even try. The catch is in your pointless comments, the catch is in idiots who surf the web for distraction and do nothing else, the catch is in you: in how you have been brainwashed into what you are now.

[Catch Plenty-You.]

I don't think Wall Street will accommodate us... perhaps the mid-west?

turak: The answer to your problems lies in creating your own community and spitting on their money. This way you become a better human being, and this way you can RIGHTFULLY sneer and spit on all of the rich @$$holes who are greedy little sh*ts.

[turak SPITS on those sh*ts!]

You are but a tool of evolutionary reform.

turak: You are a f***ing robot, a tool: a dead soul. I am a living soul out to kill every dead soul I can find.

[Hugs and kisses, signed, turak]

maybe you would like to look at this?

turak: No: only insane sick freaks like you could even imagine such a thing. Try to imagine something that isn't insane: I bet you can't. . . . your post is total and I mean TOTAL garbled GARBAGE and misinformation.

[turak is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie School of How to Win Friends and Influence People.]

NUMBER 1 RULE OF THE WORLD: Anything advertised as "FUN" is a terrible nightmarish hell of an idea. . . .
NUMBER 2 RULE OF THE WORLD: Anytime a friend says, "No man, it will be fun" YOU ARE HEADING DOWN THE WRONG PATH! . . .
NUMBER 3 RULE OF THE WORLD: Whenever a crazy person that is part of a protest and offers a new system to run the world and describes it as fun....Run....Just run.....

turak: where do these nuts come from?

[turak SPITS on the Rules of the World!]

that is communism in it's purest form. so...It will only work in theory

turak: wrong: now f*** off: you are a boring twit

[Love, love, love . . .]

I guess it is best to focus on only limited numbers of specific goals, turak.

turak: You haven't read my original post: it answers and solves all of your problems without all of you sleeping on the street like homeless bums expecting handouts from the greediest richest most selfish and most financially powerful @$$holes in the world. . . . I tell you the most practical way to solve all your problems and you turn a deaf ear to the only logical solution there is. Your cacophony of selfish special interests all demanding to be heard is phony kaka.

[Listen to turak! It is the only way! You STUPID, DUMB, IDIOT!!!]

Why are you so hostile to me or other people who you are talking with? If you want to establish a world where people value love, you should show your love and care for others.

turak: I am not hostile to people who are positive and support the desire for a better world. You have many problems! You can't even digest written material properly! You have not even attempted to understand what I tell you. . . . You don't WANT to know the truth. The truth is often very ugly and very harsh... deal with it! Face it. Since you don't face the harsh realities of this world: you are not able to hold an intelligent conversation. . . . You want love and respect from strangers over the internet? Go to your mommy for that: not here.

[Mommy!! The hugs-and-kisses man is scaring me!!]

turak: You try to treat everyone as if they are intelligent educated decent people? 99% of them spit in your face and laugh at you because they are NOT intelligent and they are NOT educated and they are NOT mature.

[turak SPITS in your face because you are not mature like he is!]

turak: This is why in founding your own self-sufficient community you must be VERY picky and weed out anyone who will not fit into your community.

[It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills.]

turak: I show love and care for people who DESERVE to be cared for and loved. The idea that everyone deserves to be loved and respected is total bullsh*t. . . . I don't respect you BECAUSE YOU DO NOT RESPECT ME do you understand that? I tell you logical common sense solutions that will work and you IGNORE WHAT I TELL YOU. You want my respect? then respect what I say to you and listen to what I say and THINK BEFORE you open your immature little trap.

[Listen to turak or you will be weeded out!]

turak: I am not trying to establish a world where EVERYBODY values love because that is totally impossible, stupid and immature. Most people in this world do not even know what love IS and they don't WANT to know. . . . YOU choose to ignore everything I tell you. Well guess what: I choose to ignore everything YOU tell ME also. That is how f***ing dysfunctional you are.

[Listen to turak, Secretary of the Love Treasury in the Republic of Candyland! Hugs and kisses!]

And now let's close by joining hands and singing the latest from yours truly, the wag tailoring the doggerel . . .

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS TURAK'S PLAN
Tune: "What the World Needs Now Is Love, Sweet Love"

What the world needs now is turak's plan
It's the only thing that will stick it to The Man
What the world needs now is turak's plan
Only just for some not for everyone

Lord, we don't need a bunch of money
There are millions and billions enough to burn
There are dollars and quarters enough to toss
Enough to lose till they won't return

What the world needs now is lots of hugs
Kisses on the cheek if you want to buy some drugs
What the world needs now is lots of hugs
Only just for some not for everyone

Lord, they're not listening to turak
To his message of kisses they won't commit
They're all @$$holes and scumbags and full of sh*t
Oh listen, world, or on you he'll spit

What the world needs now is turak's plan
It's the only thing that will stick it to The Man
What the world needs now is turak's plan
Only just for some, oh, but not for every, every, everyone . . .
