“If we are to solve the problems that this country faces, we are going to have to tackle head-on, the issue of Capitalism, which is to say, not as the Marxists define it, as industrial capital, nor are we to engage in Class Warfare, nor are we to liquidate the bourgeoisie, but we definitely need to liquidate the system whereby the vast majority of the economy and the vast majority of the efforts and work of the people are devoted to paying tribute service to International Finance Capital through interest repayments, whether those interest repayments are on big loans like mortgages or on small loans like holiday loans and car loans and so-on and so-forth.
“What will this require? Well, what it will require in the first instance, as I said, is that the State and the State alone is allowed to print currency. It will also require that the State and the State alone is allowed to provide Credit on a large scale, as opposed to the normal interactions between people. Where any attempt is made to introduce an interest payment on a loan, that is something that the State cannot permit because it is a parasite on the life of a functioning economy, which is monetary transactions of real goods, of real productions and of real assets, not manufactured credit or manufactured debt conjured up from thin air.
“Now, this is unorthodox. This is the most unorthodox economic philosophy you are likely to hear in your lifetime, and yet it is the one by which we functioned in Europe for thousands of years, and it is only latterly in the last three to four centuries that Capitalism has gone International and then International Capitalism has gone Global. And that game, and let's face it, it is a game, because it is built on “confidence” which in the shortened version is a “con”... That game is coming to an end.” — Justin Barrett
