238. Lol! A hilarious thread! I hope you didn't bet money on this! Flop! Lol!

Wed May 2, 2012, 03:29 AM

May 2012

A spectacular success, from coast to coast, from all over the world, hundreds of thousands, millions of people celebrating and demanding rights, united with one another.

Psssst, can you make a prediction for the next big event that is coming up soon? Flop??

Oh and btw, you don't seem to have knowledge of this movement, it will be here for years, just like the Civil Rights movement, because the issues at stake are as important, life and death important. If you think the people in this movement do not know what will be necessary to effect change, then you should not be writing about this topic as you do not understand it, at all.

Trust me, they will be involved in the electoral system. And when they are hopefully THEY not any professional, political party operatives, will choose the candidates and the strategy to get them elected.

Prediction: The May 1st "general strike" is going to be an enormous flop. [View all] TheWraith Apr 2012 OP

�Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revoluton inevitable� -JFK Fumesucker Apr 2012 #1

As true now as it was then, and the latter of the two is overdue. eom tledford Apr 2012 #11

Those who seek violent revolution MineralMan Apr 2012 #72

Those who are able to convince a majority that peaceful revolution LadyHawkAZ Apr 2012 #65

Violent revolution is so messy.. Fumesucker Apr 2012 #70

Good points but I don't know that MLK was correct. former9thward Apr 2012 #2

The statement that Martin Luther King made was distilled from ages of history. bluestate10 May 2012 #213

As a student of history I certainly don't agree with your analysis. former9thward May 2012 #219

That doesn't mean, though, that Dr. King was ok with gradualism Ken Burch May 2012 #226

I agree. If it gets 5 minutes on the evening news, I'll be amazed. badtoworse Apr 2012 #3

I'll bet you $10K it will make the news :) pinboy3niner Apr 2012 #8

So what? Marr May 2012 #121

It has to do with getting your message out badtoworse May 2012 #157

Getting your message out is important. Marr May 2012 #175

So you agree with The Wraith and want us all to give up. Ken Burch May 2012 #141

Turning OWS into an ideological purity test isn't going to change anything either. hack89 May 2012 #142

How about defing some specific objectives? badtoworse May 2012 #156

Has "99% Spring" done any of those things? Ken Burch May 2012 #228

Not surprising since the corporate media's biased against us. backscatter712 May 2012 #154

Then you'd just be preaching to the choir. randome May 2012 #155

Once you get a "leader", you lose the radicalism. Ken Burch May 2012 #229

Even if someone noticed the "strike" they won't know what they are striking for banned from Kos Apr 2012 #4

Have you seen what it's like on the Occupy Underground forum? randome Apr 2012 #9

Let's see... Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #10

Doomed I tell ya! bvar22 May 2012 #144

I don't think that the organizers believe it is going to be a huge deal media wise. CTyankee Apr 2012 #5

That is pretty much correct. It is an opportunity to support other actions beign called by allies.. Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #14

We shouldn't forget the impact of the teach ins by college professors about Vietnam that CTyankee Apr 2012 #20

Yes, things change. randome Apr 2012 #23

"There is nothing new under the sun" as the saying goes. CTyankee May 2012 #146

And once the Civil Rights movement was absorbed in to the Democratic Party in the early Seventies Ken Burch May 2012 #287

Whoa. I was thinking of posting something along those lines, too. randome Apr 2012 #6

Bold prediction, lol tritsofme Apr 2012 #7

That depends entirely on what you're expecting........ socialist_n_TN Apr 2012 #12

The same Dr. King who called for a general strike in support of the Memphis Sanitation workers? Morning Dew Apr 2012 #13

I think it is both hilarious and depressing that a general strike Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #15

I'd say the 'machete' part is more about the 'in-your-face' attitudes of many Occupiers. randome Apr 2012 #19

Yes because kissing the asses of the owners is working SO TBF Apr 2012 #30

I didn't say kiss their asses. randome Apr 2012 #38

There are several methods - and they can happen simultaneously TBF Apr 2012 #43

According to many Occupy reps, they can't happen simultaneously. randome Apr 2012 #47

Well my perspective is that we can do both - TBF Apr 2012 #55

If we get the government we deserve... randome Apr 2012 #62

why? RobertEarl Apr 2012 #75

Like the way Occupy pisses on 99% Spring? randome Apr 2012 #81

And what about you RobertEarl Apr 2012 #88

I think this is a good article that details a few of the tensions. Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #108

Bravo RobertEarl! Tace May 2012 #199

Everybody in 99% Spring should just have joined Occupy Ken Burch May 2012 #207

99% Spring pisses on OWS and the people by even existing Ken Burch May 2012 #227

Does the 99% Spring have ANY workers or poor people in its ranks? Does it HAVE ranks? Ken Burch May 2012 #269

Be a leader. randome May 2012 #271

I'm willing to do that. Ken Burch May 2012 #275

If OWS is so powerful, then I would think they'd absorb 99% Spring. randome May 2012 #277

I was trying to take a less-confrontational tone in that last post. Ken Burch May 2012 #278

It doesn't make sense, that's what is wrong with it. randome May 2012 #279

I doubt it would mean anything. Ken Burch May 2012 #283

I'll start that dialogue...but need a link. Ken Burch May 2012 #288

No idea what 99% Spring has going for it, if anything. randome May 2012 #291

Perhaps the German Green party notion of rotating spokespersons might work. Ken Burch May 2012 #293

I honestly don't think anyone hates OWS enough to assassinate someone. randome May 2012 #295

The problem is, anytime a "leader" emerges, even if OWS didn't have one now Ken Burch May 2012 #302

Since you like to look at history as an example... randome May 2012 #311

It's partly due to the fact that the Democrats had become as pro-corporate as the GOP Ken Burch May 2012 #205

Is it not possible in smaller occupies especially that they have been co-opted by anti-Obama patrice May 2012 #131

Nobody on the inside is ever on OUR side. Ken Burch May 2012 #136

wrong got root Apr 2012 #79

"In-your-face" like the 504 protests suffragette May 2012 #127

But they had a coherent focused message and leader mythology Apr 2012 #16

It's way too early for legislative change. The Tea Party has recently changed its focus from CTyankee Apr 2012 #25

Jeeeeeeesus. Do you know how many decades it took to produce lasting legislative change? Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #26

So legislative change was tried early on, then. randome Apr 2012 #28

That doesn't even make sense. Congresscritters in 1875 or 76 introduced the 1st Civil Rights Act... Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #46

Not to mention 100 years of VIOLENCE, state violence and organized private violence, to HiPointDem Apr 2012 #93

what a joke. HiPointDem Apr 2012 #89

What's the point in introducing legislation Ken Burch May 2012 #320

Just because you don't understand flat leadership TBF Apr 2012 #27

No, 'flat leadership' means no one is in charge. randome Apr 2012 #31

It means that there is a democratic method to making decisions - TBF Apr 2012 #35

Here we go. randome Apr 2012 #41

I can only discern from your comments - TBF Apr 2012 #44

Not sure how I can prove that. randome Apr 2012 #49

does the existence of occupy prevent you from your work toward legislative change? i don't think HiPointDem May 2012 #126

Of course Occupy is not preventing anyone from taking other approaches. randome May 2012 #152

"...are often derided..." = *sob* HiPointDem May 2012 #191

Go to the Occupy Underground forum in Activism and you'll see what I mean. randome May 2012 #193

They did those tactics because the kind YOU would favor Ken Burch May 2012 #266

You appear to be guilty of the very thing you indict others for... LanternWaste May 2012 #170

Once any Left group has a specific leader Ken Burch May 2012 #262

The current model OWS has is also not working. randome May 2012 #264

Depends on the group dynamic. Ken Burch May 2012 #276

Occupiers understand that better than most - TBF May 2012 #185

So now striking is like wielding a machete? Cali_Democrat Apr 2012 #34

So you think a strike is like wielding a machete? Well then civil disobedience must be like Zalatix May 2012 #204

Oh my LORD. woo me with science Apr 2012 #104

Well, you know, "some say" that King was really a Republican. Luminous Animal Apr 2012 #110

Obviously, MLK would have counseled caution, do not go into the streets to protest... pinboy3niner May 2012 #115

I support the Democratic Party and I wasn't pissing on you. Ken Burch May 2012 #251

Is this contradictory? WinniSkipper May 2012 #195

What else would you call supporting a totally unjustified splinter group Ken Burch May 2012 #210

So you reject members of the Democratic Pary hack89 May 2012 #246

What an utterly nonsensical claim. Where did you get the idea that OWS doesn't want democrats? Do sabrina 1 May 2012 #248

Why don't you read the post that I am replying to. hack89 May 2012 #250

I AM a member of the Democratic Party and a supporter of Occupy Ken Burch May 2012 #254

So then 99% Spring is for those of us that do endorse Democrats hack89 May 2012 #256

You weren't forbidden to individually work for Dems as a member of OWS. Ken Burch May 2012 #260

You have all these established organizations with many of the same goals of OWS hack89 May 2012 #265

Then the 99% Spring shouldn't have come in with the attitude that "we can do it and OWS can't" Ken Burch May 2012 #267

OWS should not defer to anyone. I certainly don't defer to them. hack89 May 2012 #296

There has to be SOME independence Ken Burch May 2012 #298

And yet there was no progress on those issues hack89 May 2012 #322

MoveOn.org, Rebuild The Dream, AFL-CIO, United Auto Workers, CODEPINK: Women for Peace, hack89 May 2012 #294
