[lbo-talk] Occupy Oakland's imminent implosion and the wider effects

[shag carpet bomb]

I'm not astounded by it at all. In fact, there is this really
interesting conversation that has emerged during NV training and
facilitation training about the pluses and minuses of self-policing.
Since NV has been going on a long time, and since the use of tactical
violence has always also been part of such struggles, naturally NV
training addresses how to handle it.

Years ago, an old timer said to me, in re: an eruption of tactical
violence during the fight against radioactive dump;ing, that he's come
to see the purpose of such events as a kind of litmus test forcing
people in struggle to ask themselves what they meant by "we" and
forcing people to consider what they mean by non-violence/violence.

is the most important point. The hardy and hearty impulse to regulate
is astounding.
