[lbo-talk] Boots Riley on Occupy vs Decolonize

[c b]

The name should be changed to Occupy Wall Street in Oakland. I have
proposed Occupy Detroit should change the name to Occupy Wall Street
in Detroit.  Occupying Wall Street _would_ be the liberation or
"decolonization" of the 99%. The proposal to change the name to
Decolonize/Liberate Oakland suggests the proposers are not quite
focused enough on keeping Occupy Oakland in the revolutionary class
struggle focus of Occupy Wall Street.  Occupying Wall Street in
Oakland would be to liberate or decolonize Oakland.
