World Intellectual Wealth Organisation Proposed

Posted by michael on from the talk-talk-talk dept.

wikinerd writes "Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) proposed the creation of a World Intellectual Wealth Organisation (WIWO) as an alternative to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). FSFE says that WIWO will be 'dedicated to the research and promotion of novel and imaginative ways to encourage the production and dissemination of knowledge'. The WIWO announcement is signed by 18 organisations and 29 individuals, including Dr. Richard M. Stallman."

    The name of the proposed organization is "Gnu/WIWO".

    Folks, the WIPO is good enough. What we need focus our efforts on is promoting socialism, the prohibition of privately owned firearms, doubling (at least) the income and sales taxes and introducing a VAT, better arming and training of the police, building more prisons, and removing the constitution and replacing it with something more progressive such as the communist manifesto. Of course there is more such as hefty environmental regulations and the complete prohibition of self defense against common criminals, but I feel the above is a good start to establishing a new world order and a more progressive society.
