Very glad to read this account from the Forum, and I agree fully with Anders that co-operation amongst Scandinavian countries is much needed. We have been very pleased with how easy it has been to co-operate with Parecon Sverige, and I think the e...

I don't think there is any correct answer.   The crux of the current argument is very much what I am hearing from all sides.  There are several sub-groups inside that 99% and the protestors should "present" their demand and...

As far as i can tell, the professional-managerial or what you call the coordinator class is almost totally absent in the Occupy movement in Olympia, WA and I think also in Portland and Seattle. Occupy Olympia  is primarily young people, man...

Hi MIchael (and others) My general impression is that the 99% slogan is a way to include the poor, the less poor, the middle, the upper middle, and even the upper upper middle in one group. It's divisive and inclusive and the same time, plus ...

i agree michael. Oakland Occupy was scheduling GAs every nite. That orients to those in the encampment and people who have the time and commitment to be there all the time. Few people are in that situation. the whole idea of a multi-issue economic...

No - you are right, but it isn't clear how to deal with it. That is, when someone writes howver gently, however supportively, with some concerns - others can quote out of context. But - if we let that silence all concerns, then we allow the m...

Hi Michael, I would like to respectfully insist that a slogan is a slogan and an economic and political vision is something very different. It's a good thing to remind that there are not only two classes etc. But there are many other things th...
