During the G20 summit something like 40,000 plus protesters slated to descend upon London. Of that number, there is a small but growing and prodigiously brave group of idealists planning to throw their message and bodies into the breach. They are not there to demand government action against climate change, stricter business regulations, nor are they requesting money for the poor, hungry, or infirm. Their message is simple, but profound: Get out of our way.
This small band, comprised mostly of university students and recent graduates wants only to communicate the message to the world that capitalism is not to blame for the current economic crisis. In fact, they want people to know that interventionist policies are what got us into the mess in the first place and increased state intervention is unacceptable.
“The point must be made, essentially, that we do not live in a Capitalist system and certainly not a Laissez-Faire Capitalist system. The sectors of the economy that failed were the most regulated sectors of a ‘mixed-economy’,” said Rory Hodgson, University of York student and protest organizer.
Perhaps because those still in university and recent graduates have the most to lose that they are willing to risk physical harm in order to oppose the ever-tightening choke-hold the government has on the economy. But we should all be as worried about the future and willing to fight the increasing anti-capitalist sentiment and the vulnerability of individual liberty.

What brave souls those young folk are! Not only in their willingness to go head on against the rabble, but to also have obviously fought their way against the effluence most encounter in universities these days! Have at ‘em!!
God bless these brilliant students! Amazing! This is HOPE I can believe in!
May the Lord bless, protect and multiply you and give you strength in your cause!
RIGHT ON! THE LORD OUR GOD BE WITH YOU, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS.
Thank you, brave young people for standing up for all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I literally got cold chills reading this. Thank you for reporting what the MSM wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole…
A few people get it. Liberalism is killing the West. Go get em and give em all hell!
Holy smokes! A segment of the protesters actually know what is wrong!
They actually know that it was government that caused this mess!
The world has not had laissez-Faire capitalism in decades!
Next they will probably inform their less intelligent yet well meaning protesters that honest money is the only way to wrestle power from the oligarchs and back to the people!
Millions of hard-working, decent Americans applaud these brave young men and women. We wish you all godspeed.

I am ABSOLUTELY PROUD of these people standing up and speaking common sense in the midst of such ridiculous adversity!
Hallelujah! The revolution grows larger and louder!
YES! DONT GIVE UP! All people for a free world band together and tell government ENOUGH!
My country is crying - we are giving away the rights our forefathers fought so bravely for. Every time we give one of our rights away, we are only to blame. The time is now, seize it - go bravely now, fight for freedom, fight for a future. This group is an inspiration. God bless them!
From Spain, Fantastic. It musn´t be easy to complain something against the common opinion. Many people from differente places think like them.
PD: Excuse me for my English, I promise to improve it.
Just when I thought all the youngsters had been brainwashed, here we have hope. Keep up the good work and stay safe!!!!
