For a sane perspective on the Occupy Movement
This interview with Phil Arnone, one of the founders of the Occupy Movement, is great. It provides a reasoned and smart counterpoint to the carping about “goals” and about who is involved:
Excerpt:
Q. People criticize you for your numerous goals and messages. What is the main message in this movement?
A. What this protest is about is an opposition against the fundamental inequality in society — social, economic, ecological — and we want to change the ways that our society is structured and run so that way, the vast majority of people — the 99% — have their interests accounted for, their voices heard, their needs represented. And that’s just simply not the way we feel our society works now. It’s a society run for and by the 1%.
