Spain's Robin Hood - Businessweek

In the farming village of Jódar in southern Spain, 2,000 demonstrators march down the heat-buckled tarmac toward a police checkpoint at the edge of town where, they’ve just heard via megaphone, their hero has been detained. In front stride men in green T-shirts printed with the letters SAT, the Spanish acronym for the 40,000-strong Workers Syndicate of Andalusia, a leftist trade union building a network abroad. 

When an economy turns to Roy Bi unions can become Ro gangs or demonstrators, because they are a component of the O police if O are biased to Oy criminals then they lose strength. For example a right wing Roy economy might have O policed biased to Oy corruption, allowing criminals to rob if they pay bribes. This can cause Ro demonstration, this can also happen with Oy conmen in finance in the GFC.  

It’s Oct. 4, a strike is on, no shops are open, and the sidewalks are lined with hulking members of Spain’s Guardia Civil and the local police force, clean-shaven and dressed in black. The demonstrators’ chants resound, rhythmic and rhyming, in Spanish, punctuated by clenched fists raised high. “¡Que no! ¡Que no! ¡No queremos pagar la deuda con la salud y educación!” (“No! No! We do not want to pay off debt with health care and education!”) and “¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!” (“The people united will never be defeated!”)

Ro cooperation can be against Oy individuals. 

 Half of Jódar’s 12,000 residents, who are mostly jornaleros, or day laborers, are out of work and receive no unemployment benefits. “The government is answering our demands for jobs with repression,” says one marcher. “And now they’re holding our leader.”

A Roy economy can do better by nationalizing property as G then employing people by the state, better than having them do nothing. This also happens in thrid world economies where scarce resources cause high unemployment because any businesses get trampled and robbed like a tree in the savannah by animals.
