Occupy Demands: Let s Radicalize Our Analysis of Empire, Economics, Ecology

Robert Jensen, Truthout: 'There s one question that pundits and politicians keep posing to the Occupy gatherings around the country: What are your demands?... We demand that you stop demanding a list of demands. The demand for demands is an attempt to shoehorn the Occupy gatherings into conventional politics, to force the energy of these gatherings into a form that people in power recognize, so that they can roll out strategies to divert, co-opt, buy off, or - if those tactics fail - squash any challenge to business as usual.'

Occupying Wall Street and Tahrir Square: Feathers of the Same Bird

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: 'As images rolled in this week of the Egyptian authorities' assault on protesters in Tahrir Square, observers in the United States could not escape thoughts of the official violence that had very recently been wrought on Wall Street occupiers ... around the country. Civilians beaten with clubs, dragged by their hair, subject to tear gas, watching their tents demolished ... all that spoke well of and distinguished American police was their death toll of zero.'

The 99 Percent Takes Office: Lessons From a Rhode Island Special Election

Amy Dean, Truthout: 'If labor and other progressive groups are going to rebuild an economy that works for the 99 percent in America, they need to do great organizing in workplaces and communities and they also need to build deep coalitions among themselves. But that s not enough. They also need to translate their organizing muscle into political power. And that means looking at electoral strategies in a new way.'

Occupy Your Life

Jan Hart, Truthout: 'People have found that they cannot get help from government. Government s way of dealing with the national debt and economic crisis is to reduce taxes on the rich and reduce benefits to the poor. The focus is still on 'trickle-down' economics, which simply doesn t work.'
