Occupy Tactics: Violence and Legitimacy in the Occupy Movement and Beyond
Occupy Tactics: Violence and Legitimacy in the Occupy Movement and Beyond from brandon jourdan on Vimeo.

A Debate between Chris Hedges and the CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective on Tactics & Strategy, Reform & Revolution

Why a debate?
Since Occupy Wall Street took Zuccotti Park in September 2011, there has been a resurgence of social movement activity in the United States. As momentum has increased, age-old questions over tactics, strategy, and goals have returned to the fore.

What is violence? Who gets to define it? Do illegal actions have a place in our movements?
This discussion never takes place in a vacuum or on a level playing field; rather, it occurs within the context of a struggle that is already in progress, where every statement has immediate ramifications for the participants. Differing tactical approaches often reflect fundamental differences in strategy and goals.

Tom Morello Headlines Occupy Wall Street Anniversary Concert in NYC (Video)
9:52 AM PDT 9/17/2012 by Jordan Zakarin


The former Rage Against the Machine guitarist and a lineup of radical rockers celebrated the one-year milestone of the leftist movement.
The canyons of downtown Manhattan echoed again, with guitars screaming and fists shaking at the monuments of Wall Street -- even if the buildings were empty.

Dear Bankers: Thanks for Wrecking Our Lives ...
By MARK GREIF
Published: September 15, 2012

TOMORROW is the first anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement’s encampment at Zuccotti Park. Some of the protesters there created a Web site for Americans who couldn’t join them in Lower Manhattan. Called Occupy the Boardroom, the site invited people across the country to write detailed letters to the executives and directors of banks. The site’s developers promised to deliver them as e-mail and in person.

The more than 8,000 letters that resulted (to Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley) supply some insight into the way different Americans experienced the financial crisis and recession since 2007.

The literary magazine n+1 collected 200 of the letters in a book, “The Trouble Is the Banks: Letters to Wall Street,” which appears this month. Mike McQuade, an artist, used excerpts from these letters to create this illustration for The New York Times.

There's a pretty good crowd (maybe 400 people) at Zuccotti Park, and the cops are being pretty respectful compared to the final few weeks of the last occupation.

I only have my cell phone camera, but I did manage to get a few decent shots, including this alternate angle on the the above dispersal/arrests at BOA.
