[WSF-Discuss] Way to action

The trouble is: Scholars want to help, to include ordinary activists. 
 From the grassroot people's view, WSF is not to decide on some action 
campaign or to make as many people speak as possible. Action is taken 
every day locally. WSF is a platform, where such actions are reported 
and discussed which have succeeded in ways out of capitalism: from 
cooperatives of subsistence farming, via groups of solidarity sharing 
their land and their abilities, to indigenous people who realise the 
Declaration of Rights, lately passed by the UN assembly.

Ordinary people are ahead of scholars. Ordinary people no longer rely 
 on trade and exchange and money. They know that a financial and 
ecological catastrophe is ahead because of capitalism, and they enjouy 
life nevertheless.
