I honestly don't know how "accurate" the Daily Show segment on class division within the OWS encampment was, but even if only as parody, it's really quite astute on this matter that Mike is pointing out here. http://www.thedaily...

Thanks Brian. Yes, I think you are right that it is basically a good sounding slogan - but so good, and so effective at pinpointing those at the top - and highlighting redistribution - that it has a lot of merit on those grounds. Of course, on ot...

This is the time to bring up this problematic slogan, thanks. From the first time I heard it I thought it reeked of "Jewish Banker Cabal" type logic, a Friend/Enemy distinction that was a dangerous distraction.  Yes it is an umbrell...

This is a great article. One quick comment though is, being a professional engineer authority also comes from knowledge governing the profession. It is unethical to allow a non engineer to function as an engineer on all technical matters that req...

Mike, I've been waiting for you to publish this. (I knew you would, so I didn't bother trying myself.) I believe this issue will pose the biggest threat to an increasingly successful OWS movement. I often think your abstract encapsulations...

Hi...   Imagine I made an argument against using violence in efforts to win a better society in the U.S. I give three reasons: (1) The use of violence will alienate potential constituencies hurting growth of opposition. (2) The us...

I don't think this undermines your arguments in any serious way but I think this is still worth mentioning. In your article you state; "everyone will not want to do work that is tedious and boring if not doing it would have no known adve...

Protesters at Occupy Wall St. have been passing out "new constitutions" that seem to be largely based on the principles of parecon (workers' councils, consumers' councils, and so on).  I wonder, Mr. Albert, what you think of...

anarchists who think it is a good idea to use violence against fascists might want to take note of Chomsky's body language when this issue come up during the interview.
