#OccupyWallstreet We Are the 99 Per Cent I have spent the last two days at the Occupy Wall Street gathering. It was a beautiful display of peaceful action: so much kindness and gentleness in the camp, so much belief in our world and democracy. And so many different kinds of people all looking for a chance at the dream that America had promised them. America has been debased and degraded by greed. When people critique this movement and say spurious things about the protesters' clothes or their jobs or the general way they look, they are showing how shallow we have become as a nation. It is a thing of beauty to see so many people in love with the ideal of democracy, so alive with its promise, so committed to its continuity in the face of crony capitalism and corporate rule. Their message is very clear and simple: get money out of the political process; strive for equality in taxation and equal rights for all regardless of race, gender, social status, sexual preference or age. Jobs can and must be created.

Millones de indignados de todo el mundo exigieron un "cambio global" #marchabruselas #walktobrussels | The Marches to Brussels | Scoop.it AnteriorSiguiente Las movilizaciones más multitudinarias -y en algunos casos, como el de Italia, violentas- tuvieron lugar en los países europeos, cuyas economías atraviesan momentos difíciles con severas crisis de deuda y altos índices de desempleo. En contraste, la convocatoria tuvo escasa repercusión en América Latina, en donde Chile fue el único lugar en donde se reunieron más de mil personas. En tanto, Nueva York y otras ciudades de los Estados Unidos las marchas fueron numerosas y se registraron incidentes aislados. En España, la Puerta del Sol de Madrid, donde hace justo cinco meses nació el "movimiento de los indignados", se inundó con decenas de miles de personas que, a un mes de que se celebren elecciones generales, regresaron al epicentro de las protestas que surgieron en mayo pidiendo un cambio político y social. La manifestación central de las cerca de 80 que tuvieron lugar en todo el país arrancó de la céntrica Plaza de Cibeles bajo el lema "15O. América Latina
Bankster Dante’s inferno: massive riots in Rome — pictures and videos 200,000 peaceful protesters march on Rome, but an army of riot police and a small militia of anti-capitalist urban guerrillas wreak havoc across the city. As the European debt crisis spills over from Greece to Italy, so do the flames of indignation spread from Athens to Rome. On Saturday, the Italian capital was the theater to a spectacular 200,000-strong peaceful anti-austerity march. But a small minority of dedicated militants turned their sights on the authorities. Violent clashes broke out that led to at least 100 injuries and countless torched police vans and cars, broken shop windows and unearthed cobble stones. Makeshift bombs were detonated, missiles and Molotov cocktails fired at police, a church was ransacked, and the Ministry of Defense set ablaze. As the tear gas and petrol bombs fly from one ancient city to the next, the social sustainability of our present political economic arrangement is once again being thrown into question.
Monde mouvement des indignés le #15O un appel aux peuples du monde "L'utopie réalisable" d'une révolution pacifique mondiale est donc au coeur du mouvement. Utopie que l'on pourrait résumer par l'arrêt des politiques économiques de rigueur, la mise au pas de la finance internationale, la reprise en main des décisions politiques par les populations elles-mêmes. L'historien Christian Delporte, spécialiste des représentations politiques et opinions publiques, de la culture de masse (du XIXème siècle à nos jours), exprime son opinion face au mouvement en germe : "Ce mouvement est pour moi un symptôme : celui de la crise du politique, c'est à dire du système démocratique, de la représentation, ce qui n'est pas nouveau ; mais par contre ce qui est plus nouveau c'est la crise des structures et des corps sociaux intermédiaires.
