In reply to the discussion: Occupy's tactics are hurting their message and the left [View all]izquierdista
(11,689 posts)People are getting OWS. People got the civil rights movement. People got the Vietnam war protests. People got Stonewall and gay liberation. Not all of them at first, some it took time for them to understand, and when they didn't understand, they gave the false impression that tactics were hurting the message.
But that's what it takes, tactics that shake the conservative acceptors of the status quo until they realize that yes, this struggle IS about them. I'm amazed at what has happened in 3 months. Three months after Rosa Parks got arrested or after Stonewall not much had changed at all. Three months after Wall Street was first occupied and it has been copied in hundreds of cities worldwide. That is because it's not to difficult to figure out if you are in the 1% or not. The only ones that haven't figured it out are the enforcers.
