The Obama-endorsed anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street movement gained support from socialists in Pakistan on Wednesday. Hundreds of Pakistanis marched against capitalism in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The #OWS supporters say they will keep protesting until capitalism is replaced by socialism in the country.
Iran Press News reported:

Hundreds of Pakistani workers, tradesmen and students have staged rallies in the capital, Islamabad, to protest against capitalism in the country, Press TV reports.

Wednesday’s rallies were inspired by the “Occupy Wall Street” movement which erupted in New York in mid-September to protest social and economic inequalities and corporate greed in the US.

“Under capitalism people can’t live a dignified life, they can’t even meet their basic needs. I think in this system people are not able to get jobs, they are not able to make ends meet,” said a protester.

Protesters also marched towards the World Bank office in Islamabad and chanted slogans against the international financial institutions.

Demonstrators also denounced the privatization of government companies, saying capitalists wanted to take total control of all the public money.

“Our serious problem is the policies of new liberalists and capitalists, for example the privatization of the telecommunication company has been a total disaster, restructuring of railway company has been a disaster and the big dams we built with World Bank money has also been a disaster environmentally, socially and economically,” said a protester.

Severe economic challenges including energy shortages and rising inflation, deterioration of public services like health and education and an unusual increase in the cost of basic amenities, are among the main causes of people’s dissatisfaction in Pakistan.

And you wonder why these idiots are poor as dirt?

    And by the way, if you ever look at the principles of sharia banking they sort of look like Obama’s guiding principles for the financial world…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia_banking#Principles

    “… Islam forbids simply lending out money at interest … ”

    There is nothing Obama loathes more than intuitions that charge interest. He has applied heavy government intervention on mortgages, investment banks, student loans and credit cards.

    So these ignoramuses think that “public money” just magically appears, from a bewitched tree or a smoldering lamp?

    Ignorance is tragic. The deliberate attempt to keep people ignorant is criminal.

    Hey M.C.
    Maybe Babsy is saying that she doesn’t wonder why they are poor as dirt, simply because it is so obvious.

    How ’bout it, Babsy?

    #6: Sorry. You’ve completely missed the meaning of my post. I don’t wonder at all why they’re dirt poor. They have a pathetic government and no initiative to work. So I don’t wonder at all why that don’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. I know your powder is dry How are you doing on large rifle magnum primers?

    Like anybody cares how these muslim countries copy the anarchists of this country. But, like the OWS here in the US, they don’t have a clue about what they are talking about. I never heard such gibberish come out of anybody’s mouth. It is an embarrassment and a real wakeup call about our education system.
