Statement on OWS « Econ4. #whilewewatch. Joan Baez at Occupy Wall Street. The Story of Broke (2011) -Teaser One. Tent Libraries Occupy Boston and Beyond. Le fantastique succès d’ « Occuper Wall Street » Le mouvement « Occuper Wall Street » – car c’est aujourd’hui devenu un mouvement – est le plus important événement politique intervenu aux Etats-Unis depuis les soulèvements de 1968 dont il est un prolongement, sinon le descendant direct. Pourquoi ce mouvement a-t-il démarré aux Etats-Unis à ce moment-là, et pas trois jours, trois mois ou trois ans plus tôt ou plus tard ? Nous ne le saurons sans doute vraiment jamais. Etape n°1, les premiers jours : le mouvement a consisté en une poignée d’audacieux, des jeunes gens principalement, qui cherchaient à manifester.
La presse les a ignorés superbement. Puis, quelques policiers imbéciles ont eu la faiblesse de penser qu’un peu de brutalité mettrait fin aux manifestations : la vidéo de leurs violences est devenue un succès immédiat sur YouTube. Ce qui nous amène à l’Etape n°2 : la publicité. Ce qui nous conduit à l’Etape n°3 : la légitimité. Le mouvement est devenu respectable. . © Immanuel Wallerstein, distribué par Agence Global.

Wall St. Protestors Take to BK Bridge, NYPD Arrests 700. Noam Chomsky: My Response to #OccupyWallStreet. With #OccupyWallStreet, the linguist and political critic sees a reason for hope that lies closer to home. By **Noam Chomsky** When Guernica interviewed Noam Chomsky in 2009, it seemed notable that he was emphasizing “hopes and prospects.”
This was the title of his book and to be hopeful, Professor Chomsky was having none of it when it came to the newly elected President Barack Obama. Aside from the credit he gave to protest movements in the sixties for electing a black president, much of the hope he saw in the 21st century world he had to find to the south, in Latin America, among the presidents of the “pink tide” movement there who initially fought as true populists and union leaders (Lula in Brazil), rose from poverty, and beat back privatization (Evo Morales in Bolivia).
But in the #OccupyWallStreet movement, Professor Chomsky apparently now sees a reason for hope situated a little closer to home. Spotlight photograph by Duncan Rawlinson.
