Re: occupying wall street - will it do any good
I went to the UN website and didn't see any kind of a statement on human rights. That's probably because the UN is a socialist organization that specializes in meaningless websites.Bill Wiltrack wrote:

Re: occupying wall street - will it do any good
It was destroyed by power as they saw how it could grow/spread. It was nipped in the bud. What was happening there was outside the normal capitalist relational, yet inside it. They lived for a while differently and this made them see things anew. How things are totally fucked. Unplugged from the grid they weren't allowed to grow. But it will be seen as a beginning of what's to come.tbieter wrote:Whatever happened to Occupy?
