occcupy has propelled the USA as far as, if not past France
and other european countries as far as protest movements go. the only occupy movement we ever had was when tents were given to the homeless to make them visible

occupy is like tahir square style, the usa went from brainwashed silence to ultra radical occupy, thank you so much madison WI!!!!!!!

i love it to that the midwest helped to radicalize the usa!!!!!!! go cheeseheads!!!! now if only illinois can follow......


because remember, occupy in the usa started in madison, not new york.

1. We still have a ways to go to catch up to Europe. But we're well on our way.
We, for instance, have never had a nationwide general strike, as far as I know. But it's coming.

You're welcome from WI.

3. high school kids need to get involved
in france the high school and jr high school kids and uni students all have their own student unions, if needs be they go on strike. the best strike i ever did in my town of 30 000 had about 3500 middle aged and old people then suddenly over a thousand jr high, high school and uni kids showed up at the march and it was an instant party. firecrackers, lots of banners, drinking (age is 18 but unenforced) hash smoking, drums, guitars, anarchist squads all in black but made of local kids. a true thing of beauty, all over the country it was like that, the govt caved and the education "reforms" didnt go through.

3 days actions by those kids and they won and know how to win and are fucking radicalized.

truly a thing of beauty. and the kids organized it themselves, not the adults. that is what was beautiful.
