Johnny Rotten is now making publicity for the capitalist industry !!

No, because 20 years ago i was a kid and i wasn't at the age of being able to have my own political philosophy.

But no, i never changed, since i discovered politics i was always anti-capitalist, and i will always be.

I understand that some details might change, but you can't explain a radical change like someone who pass from anti-capitalism to capitalism. That's like an anti-nazi who becomes a nazi.

So we should respect Bill Gates attitude of "This how I want to do it, and if you don't like it, tough shit." ???

lol wow you don't know what to answer it's obvious....

He's a capitalist, end of the story. He betrayed his ideas, end of the story. He bacame what he hated, end of the story.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

dude he is the richest person on earth, he could get rid of povrety alone so don't tell me he's a cool guy who want to share.

Bill gates is a businessman, he does charity just to promote his image. He was highly critized because he try to have a good image by donating computers, but then he force them to use windows so thats just a way to promote his products

You are paranoid, this thread has nothing to do with you. Go take your medecines and see your psychriat.

...but if you feel targeted, that's probably because you have something to reproach you

 

Some statistics.... (translated from french)

- The 200 richest billionaires in the world have, by themselves, the equivalent of what have 41% of the world population (2.46 billion people).
- The wealth of 10 richest people in the world is equal to one and half times the income of all underdeveloped countries together.
- The fortune of the three richest people in the world exceeds the GDP of the 48 poorest countries representing 600 million people.
- six billion dollars each year would be sufficient to provide basic education to the entire world population, while it is spent annually in the United States eight billion dollars on cosmetics
- We can not find $ 13 billion that would provide food and care to the world's population, but Europe and the U.S. spend 17 billion annually to their animals
- 80 billion dollars annually would organize the basic public services worldwide, while the price is lower than the combined wealth of the seven richest people in the world

Those statistics are from official sources, and the numbers have increased since this text was released.

So it is a fact that the richest person on earth can change something

I think bill gates want to league his heritage to charity only to have a good image (and it worked, after announcing that he was nominated man of the year). He have his own charity organisation, why not use this money RIGHT NOW ??? Who says in a couple of years he isnt going to change minds and give his heritage to his children ??

Bill gates also announcer less than 2 months ago that he will invest a lot of his money in nuclear technology, so i don't think he is sharing the same definition as us about charity.

 

This is an article from the anarchist website http://www.subsociety.org

the sources are:

It is over 10 years old, so the numbers of the wealth of the rich peoples probably doubled, while povrety stays the same.

 

yeah, the debates always go off-topic here

 

Yeah sure, nothing wrong with threads going off topic, but we should also learn to make new threads when the debates goes off topic (me included)

The debates would be more lisible, and this would be easier to find topics that have already been discusses. For example, if i want to find back this debate about Bill Gates in 2 months it will be very hard because the topic is named "Johnny rotten is now making publicity"

 

It was just an example

i was more thinking about threads like the "new mods" thread that turned into a debate about green day and the offspring and threads like "the anarchist philosphers" that turned into a debate about freedom of speech for nazis
