Description
Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria revolted against their governments for democracy. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Alaska and Ohio protested and striked for organized labor. The protests in the streets of London against austerity cuts that later ended in riots, the protests in Germany against Nuclear power, the riots in Spain Greece, and for a time France, and let us not forget the content wide general strike that happened in Europe at the end of last year.Now, there is a world wide movement fighting for a complete paradigm Change, Occupytogether. Starting off out of simple frustration about the economy, and the lack of concern for the poor majority, it blossomed into a world wide protest setting up democratic "general assemblies" coordinating protests relevant to their local community, and empowering the community to take things back into the hands of the people, be it union, local assembly, or cooperatives, people are starting to be less reliant on centralized tyranny of both businesses and government.
we are now going through a stage where people are realizing their lot in life, what those in power, whether it be banker, C.E.O. or politician, have done to them. Class consciousness is rising on a massive scale at this time, The movement has brought Direct Action as a mechanism of Democracy and is leading to world wide change.
Educate, Agitate, Organize, Liberate!

About the whole London thing, I never supported it, and I thought Encyclopedia Dramatica was right on the money when they referred to it as "The Great UK Lootfest 2011." Unfortunately, it just became a justification for Londoners to look stores and each other, like one disturbing video I saw of a young man who was obviously in physical/emotional distress and instead of calling 999 (the emergency number in the UK) a bunch of jackass rioters stole the stuff in his backpack while he just stood there in a daze.

Also, though I fantasize about it sometimes, I doubt there's going to be a worldwide socialist or anarchist or whatever non-capitalist-system revolution because of the protestors' differing ideologies (lots of libertarians and even some NWO-people too) and because they're not thinking in those terms and just want fairness.

Oh, I wasn't condoning what they did, but I sympathize with the deep seeded frustration that ultimately caused it.

That rat bastard Scott Walker just ignored a court order to not put that absurd anti-union law into effect. Its nothing short of saintly restraint on the part of the people of Wisconsin that he hasn't been publicly executed yet.

The U.S. has a level of ridiculous economic inequality. Comparatively, Canada is much better. hmm wondering what thinks, he's Canadian.
