This is not a Turkish problem.

Why did people riot in Stockholm when Sweden is envied by many for economic success and social support system?

What is happening in Spain, Greece, Cyprus, why are people turning against their government and mainstream politicians with true hate in the UK, France or other countries for example?

Because the stubborn insistence that the markets and the financial institutions decide and showcase the health and state of the country continues, completely ignoring the actual state and livelihood of the general public.

The same pattern is developing everywhere, whether we talk about Europe, China, India or even the US.

The present consumerism system with its constant quantitative growth has failed, it is broken, moreover it is now in self-destruct mode, every "solution", "adjustment", "bailout" is digging deeper and deeper hole underneath everybody.

The signs are everywhere, youth unemployment, increasing social inequality, break down of social support, depression, emptiness and increasing hate.

If we continue viewing the signs in isolation, and try to "explain" them with the usual stereotypes we will continue to "miss the boat", the boat we are all sitting on.

In a global world, where everybody is integrated with everybody else we will see such terms as "domino effect", "contagion" more and more often.

If we understand what principles we have to follow, how to plan and act in a mutually responsible and complementing fashion then those terms will be used describing how positive "waves" ripple through the system, but if we stubbornly ignore our present conditions then pain and suffering will spread.
