Comment on Criticisms of the Occupy Movement by Tamara

Tamara — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:16:48 +0000

Yes, what is said in terms of criticism is true. However, the positive impact of the Occupy is the heightened public awareness of the issues of social inequality and unjust society. We should give them a credit for bugging average American consciousness. “May be not everything is right in this Kingdom of Self-Professed Righteousness.”

At the same time, the Occupy does not offer an alternative vision of just society. This is an understandable problem. Most young Americans can only compare bad life in America to good life in America in the 1960s. They can only think in limited terms of American way of life after 20 years of brainwashing at school and in media that America is “the best” democratic country, market is “the best” economic system, Americans are “the best” philanthropists, etc.

Hopefully, through participation in OWS movement, more young Americans would want to understand what is wrong in this society, start looking for explanations and alternatives, and will discover Socialist views and approaches.

Comment on 20th Issue Retrospective by John Gilbert

John Gilbert — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:18:26 +0000

I would hope that both left and more right wing anarchist groups will remember how to expand the numbers of their membership. Please remember to aim to have the majority of your membership be those who want tenants rights and animal rights, because these 2 groups are the majority of people on the planet:
a)_The revolutions of serfs or tenants (rights) – the largest historical sub group.
b)_Animal welfare – the world’s most (popular) heart felt constituency.
After a hypothetical anarchist meeting to recruit and mobilize, you asked a newcomer “What do you think?” “I like that you anarchists showed the film THE COVE about the outrageous murder of dolphins by Japanese fishermen” he said.

( “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou )

Kallis Jaan,
Tunneme sulle sügavalt kaasa Ricki surma pärast. Tean, et pole sõnu, mis lohutaks, aga loodame, et leiad jõudu edasi minna ja leida ka oma edasisele elule mõtet.

Comment on The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign’s New Campaign by Jose M. Lopez Sierra

Dear Friends,

The United Nations’ (UN) Decolonization Committee is in its third decade of trying to eradicate colonialism in the world. In that effort, it holds a hearing every year around June (the month New York City holds its Puerto Rican Day Parade) to discuss Puerto Rico’s colonial situation.

It would be helpful if in next year’s discussion there could be a full house in the hearing room with people interested in the decolonization of Puerto Rico. This hearing is not well publicized since some people would like to maintain the status quo forever.

Could your organization spread the word out to your people so that those interested in attending the June 2012 hearing could do so? The exact date has not yet been determined by the UN.

Thank you for your time in this matter!

Sincerely,

José M. López Sierra
