Imagining the Post-Occupy Social Movement

http://workerscompass.org/?p=5155

Shamus Cooke

If one were to honestly assess Occupy's current strengths and weaknesses as a movement, confusion must be the inevitable result. This is because Occupy is not one movement, but an umbrella term that encompasses several different groups that have varied aims, organizational structures, and gaping theoretical differences.

Strong Men Back Up Their Words With Actions; They Don't Retreat From Promises

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/22/2011 - 09:27

Strength isn't something which can be measured by the number of people you have around you. Strength isn't something that can be assessed by the amount of plaques on your wall. Strength isn't something that can be weighed by the particular role you play in life. It can't be figured by the image others have of you in their minds.

Occupy the courts!

The impetus behind #OWS is to bring together the 99% who do not own the world and to provide a venue to address the greed and corruption which has brought America to its knees. By focusing the attention on Wall Street and the financial institutions, #OWS may be missing a prime target for the corruption that has taken over our country—the courts.
