This is a much needed discussion, and while Chris Hedges’ article may have had “fundamentalist” leanings it can be credited for bring to the forefront an important issue.    What’s made the Occupy Movement unique ...

Keith, what is your source for the claim that "most of the black bloc are provocateurs, frequently undercover police or military"?

I've been alarmed to see that even among my generation, there hasn't been much budging on this, and indeed some folks on both extremes have become even more entrenched. For saying on Facebook that Hedges was off base but vicious personal a...

In discussing the “black bloc,” the first thing which needs to be said up front is that most of the “black bloc” are provocateurs, frequently undercover police or military, which engage in counterproductive thuggery whic...

Yes I know where I'm wandering. And yes, I'm with you in the struggle for a better world. You do a good job, and, as I have explicitly expressed in the Zspace-pages, sometimes you touch me. In return I could ask: I do not think you...

I appreciate your post, Randall, and agree that Chris Hedges' piece rather uncharacteristically went over the line in attacking an alleged protest "group" rather than critiquing a type of protest tactic that has shown up at times (e....

Well, we left radicals can and do argue about a lot more than what you restrict within the paramaters of acceptable debate Karman! See my reflections at http://www.zcommunications.org/occupy-wall-street-at-the-hub-of-global-hypocrisy-by-paul-...

To paraphrase a point Michael Albert has correctly made regarding OWS and protests in general: To take up force and violence is to fight the enemy on his home court.  For those who control our society, violence it their strongest suit.  ...

Yes to the conclusion, which Howard Zinn often stated.  I miss Howard Zinn.  Thanks, Paul Street, for quoting him again.  I think the Democratic party is nearly dead.  Obama's win in 2008 delayed it.  As to the oft-sa...
