I understand and sympathise with the concerns of this group. While aware the regime was despotic, it seems I underestimated the severity of recent repression. I have never subscribed to the 'My enemy's enemy is my friend' position, tho...

this video has a cut right after 51:10, as he begins to describe the reaction of congress to the recent emissions reports: "...Congress reacted to this, ...they reacted by enacting <cut> ... a problem ...".

This is an incredibly insightful and constructive commentary. If we all can remember to think like Rebecca we will surely find powerful ways for Occupy to move forward this spring.

Mr. Quigley is correct on all counts, and is right to encourage more folks fighting against corporate might.  My concern is that there's not as much cohesion as could be regarding the panoply of anti-corporate efforts, particularly when i...

Here is the missing part: the kids of the town for decades and the German parents, who by now must have been aware of the situation, looked the other way?    - During the Vietnam war, some young Germans, belonging to&nb...

Rereading the note that starts the article,  I have another possible interprepation based on something I always say, which is "The gods on Mt. Olympus(sic) are laughing at us" re my own plans gone messed and variations on that. ...

Possible duplicate of my previous comment. English is not my mother language so perhaps it is just my fault, but it seems to me that last sentence is incomplete.  I understand it refers to Regensburg' s Archbishop Williamson and to his p...

I'm an artist, a visual artist.  Most of my protest comes in art form, in part because I am physically unable (health) to attend protest events these days/years.  (My 18th birthday for the 2nd time will take place on Feb. 29th, with ...

Paul,  Many thanks for another important and thoughtful piece.  There has been quite a buzz about Occupy tactics lately, partly triggered by Chris Hedge's sharp (and somewhat inaccurate) critique of Black Bloc and the aftermath of th...

Nicholas - the insitutitonal and legal barriers to meaningful 3rd/4th party and independent left politics beyond the "unelected dictatorship of money"  (Edward S.  Herman and David Peterson's phrase) in the U.S. are da...

Demands can provide direction. Based on what I've seen in Baltimore, the occupy movement has become more diffuse. I'm not sure this is a shortcoming. The verdict is still out. But I think it's partly symptomatic that participants could...

It's good to see the resistance in Spain moving forward, being creative and building positively.  I wish we had that in Canada.  Unfortunately, I fear for that kind of energy to be brought to bear, things will have to get worse . . ....

For starters we could: 1. Dismantle the status of corporations as "people" and revise the law to require them to act in the public good.   2.  Tax the wealthy in amounts that reimburse the public for providing the environment ...

I would simply argue that the "vagueness" of those first GA's sprang from the memory of loss, that most Occupiers had fought against the wars and seen "mass mobilizations" that had no effect on power. They had participated ...
