> A new piece on the Occupy Wall Street and right to the city movements that may be of interest:
>
> “We Are the 99%” - The Slogan and the Reality¬¬
>
> A new blog #17, dealing with the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Right to the City Alliances, as representative of the 99%, who is in them and who in the 1%, why historically they have arisen now, how they have changed since their beginnings, and what their future demands and strategic possibilities and dangers might be.
> The essential points are that the theoretical 99% are much less than 50% in practice, that transformative systemic change is not on the agenda today, that that realization has become acknowledged, particularly since the defeat of 1968, that the Occupy and RTTC movements are recognizing that fact and moving to individual transformative changes, with dangers and, given good outreach, real potentials for new transformative strategies.
