states in the US and Europe may be in great debt, but the private bankers are collectively in hundreds of trillions of debt. That is the figure -six hundred trillion- that was reported in Senate debates as the amount of speculative cash floating around financial market trading. The bankers take public debt and leverage and sell it over and over to eachother, increasing exponentially a vast pile of debt for themselves and everyone else.
Currently no civil society groups in Canada except the Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform are actively promoting public/community finance instead of banker rule. (unless one counts alternative media as 'active civil society'.)
I can understand the frustration of those who are so hurt and angry they condone property damage. Neither governments, corporations, nor the majority of civil society groups are providing spaces for development of public finance, and the bankers are too lazy to give up their gravy train and do real work.
I don't agree that property damage can be condoned, it's additionally self-defeating and movement-defeating, and adds to the debt burden dropped at our collective feet, but I understand the anger at its root.
