This is not about emotion: It's about co-optation.

There's more than one way to co-opt a movement. With OWS, the far greater danger has been being co-opted from the far left into Black Blocism. That'll scatter your movement to the winds far more effectively than anything Piven or the Dems ...

Of course you want to merge, blend, ovelap 'movements' with 'electoral politics' -- after all, how else could the movements be co-opted? The strength of a movement is how much it can press up against an established system a...

Frances Fox Piven -- I was in the audience when you and Cornel West hid behind the red "Democratic Socialist of America" banner. Your commentary at that plenary made me ill. You and Cornel both professed your "love" for O...

I think one of the key issues which you touch on and I have come accross living in the UK, but this is also an issue accross Europe is the use of current crisis and the labour market insecurity it has produced is to push through ideologi...

I would say that that the US has one of the most trustworthy electoral systems in the world as well, even allowing for the events of the 2000 election. The fact that the outcome was a statistical tie in a country of 300 million tells us just how...

Dear Terri, I apologize, but I don’t have the exact reference. It was from a YouTube video of a presentation he was making. During the Q&A session at the end of the video the topic came up. But I think he talks about it during practi...

Hello Tom, Your comment about Chris Hedges supporting the Election Boycott is of interest to me. Do you have a link or a statement on this? Thanks,  Terri

I know Chris Hedges has been talking about this recently. I believe he is of the opinion that people should stop voting altogether. This will remove the last shreds of respectability from the corrupt revolving door system of left/right politics....

There is something that we can do. Something nonviolent, legal, risk-free, and with the potential to delegitimize the government. Notice that I didn't say overthrow, abolish, or replace it, but just delegitimize it. That would be a ...

Please google 'Election Boycott' and you will see that this tactic is frequently used world-wide to delegitimize governments and to go up against electoral fraud. What is ineffective is wasting your vote on a guaranteed loser.

In the presidential race I would rather vote third party. In congressional and senate races, I would still vote Dem. Half the population doesn't vote as it is. Not voting accomplishes nothing.
