- Who are you? What do you do in the movement? Tell us a bit...
-
- You have to talk a bit louder, because if not, I don't...
-
- Just introduce yourself and...
-
- My name is Ezio Marano and I have been in this movement for about 4 months
-
and I see that I'm getting more and more involved with it because...
-
it was kind of what I had always thought,
-
what I had always intended as a type of society.
-
I've always felt very strongly that there was something wrong in this society.
-
But not because... I don't know... (here I have to cut it...)
-
I always thought there was something wrong with this society
-
due to the fact that everything had a price,
-
everything was exchanged for something else,
-
but in contrast to this, I have seen that
-
there are many people who do volunteer work,
-
I myself feel much more committed when I do something as a favor to someone
-
rather than doing it for a pay, for a remuneration.
-
So I think that to live according to more user friendly rules
-
would be a step much more (don't know how to say it...)
-
widening up for humanity.
-
(I can't manage to get anything right! Oh!
-
I can't manage to get anything right!
-
when I'm at home I'm much more inspired!)
-
- How do you see the political, economic and social issues in Italy?
-
- Ah ... This is quite different!
-
The situation I see here in Italy
-
is quite bad, as I have always seen it:
-
in the sense that, before there were many parties
-
and everyone was looking to further his own cause,
-
now they split into two or three major factions, however,
-
it's very well understood, it is blatant
-
that all they do is staged up to make us...
-
for us to choose from among the things that
-
someone else has probably already chosen for us.
-
And this, after a while clutters your life. It gets bothering!
-
And it is primarily for this reason that
-
I do not see a solution through, nor the politicians,
-
nor the economy, because the economy today is based on
-
money which is a dummy value.
-
Strangely they say it's the most real thing around,
-
while actually we never know how much we have of it,
-
we never know how much we go into debt,
-
we never know with "whom" we get into debt,
-
so...
-
so it becomes increasingly difficult to keep after this pace,
-
to keep after a thought that gets... proposed,
-
but more than that proposed, served up, I would say!...
-
and becomes less and less convincing.
-
While on the other hand, what I have found good in the
-
Zeitgeist Movement is precisely the Resource Based Economy.
-
We have resources on the planet, which we used
-
in a completely desecrated and so immoderate way,
-
without paying attention, nor how much we used of them,
-
nor how and where to dispose of them after using them.
-
There is such a terrible misuse of earthly resources...
-
that makes many alarm bells begins to ring.
-
So, we should make a wise use of resources,
-
recycling everything in order to have abbundance for everyone,
-
as these resources actually exist,
-
and there is no need to make
-
20 ~ 30,000 people starving every day around the world,
-
just to accumulate money that
-
they will have almost certainly no time to spend.
-
So, I think that the economic approach of the Zeitgeist Movement
-
is the most suitable, at present,
-
to give a concrete answer to the economy today.
-
- What message would you give to the world?
-
- The message that I would give the world is
-
to use any means to be able to disentangle initially
-
from the slavery of today's economic model, based on monetarism.
-
This is the most important first step we need to do.
-
It will... Let's make clear that to many people, this will cost a lot!
-
It will mean completely change their view of life,
-
but in the long run they'll realize that
-
they will have in return much more than they give,
-
like everyone else, for that matter,
-
I think this is what will happen!
-
The shift will be difficult because we do not know
-
if we get something back in return for such a radical change.
-
But actually my thought is that we all will have great benefits from it.
