    Whoa! This really is spreading like wildfire!
    "A new centrist project does not have to repeat these mistakes. Nobody in this topic is advocating a carbon copy of the Second International (which again was only partly centrist)." (Tjis, class-struggle anarchist)

    "A centrist strategy is based on patience, and building a movement or party or party-movement through deploying various instruments, which I think should include: workplace organising, housing struggles [...] and social services [...] and a range of other activities such as sports and culture. These are recruitment and retention tools that allow for a platform for political education." (Tim Cornelis, left-communist)

    ^ I'll have to pay closer attention to this. Hopefully I'll be able to go.

    It seems that every city now has an "occupy" set up for it.

    Occupy SF-
    Friday Night 25-30 campers
    Sunday Night 75 campers

    I went down to the camp twice today, including to the general assembly. A lot of the local anti-cap/radical scene is showing up, constituency seems to have fairly radical politics; we all rejected the idea of petitioning congress (in contrast to the demands of Occupy Wall st.) or using the current systems at all to address our grievances.

    An anarchist comrade is setting things up in Reno. Apparently he got some surprising turnout.

    It depends on where it is and who is organizing of course. I can see a lot of these having some confused politics.

    That they will. The fact that folks are in the streets and it is only growing as a "movement" is good. it is up to experienced and politically educated comrades to show up, become involved and help steer this things in radical directions.

    There's an occupy in my area. But the fuckers are coming to ruin it by taking the politics away.

    Occupy Boston is good because the insanity needs to stop. This is beyond left and right, this about the middle class coming together. We need to stop letting the ruling class divide and conquer us, using wedge issues to keep us apart. We need to unite and take our country back.

    We need to get in on these protests and stop bullshit about this being beyond left and right. Get in there, promote the anti-Obama anti-Tea Party, anti-Republican sentiment. The people want an answer. I think that they might be turning to us next. We can't fuck this up, like we did the first bailout.

    "In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

    I would suggest going down there then. I look forward to your report back.

    Wow, now Alabama is going to have four of these events. One in Birmingham, Auburn, Mobile, and Tuscaloosa. I don't think there will be much actual occupying going on, but there will certainly be some protests.

    When people in Alabama are getting involved then you know this is definitely picking up steam.
