there is talk that swilled around the general assembly last night, in regards to the vitality or necessity of the camp... oh it made my heart flutter, and in my only attempt to address the issue one on one with a critic, i failed.
he did not want to listen.
oh listening ... once we have that tool down, we will speak with clarity, together.
but this post is NOT about listening.
this post is about why we are living in tents in the middle of winter ... and why occupy MUST continue to live in this manner. i am not saying it is the ONLY thing we must do ... but it is one of the most challenging!
have you stopped to wonder WHY so much time and effort is going into shutting down the intentional communities of wall street?
because, if we can succeed at this stage, to live and work together, to learn to listen to each other and solve our issues collectively, we have learned to dismantle the system.
we WIN.
it is the biggest threat there is.
have you stopped to wonder WHY so many people think that this aspect of occupy is dangerous or trivial?
because they do NOT understand it ...
because starting at the bottom and building our way up is MESSY. because horizontal or direct democracy is a SLOW and often messy process ... because the truth is often brutal and difficult to face.
