yeah, but nicholas is arguing against even that. he said that the cooperative art space had been vandalized, paintings stolen, and used to decorate the TA building. He noted earlier that they broke in (the anarchists) in order to use the place to set up their library of holy texts. (or something like that.)
So, it's not that he's got events wrong. He flat out disagrees that there is anything useful in squatting/occupation or any occupation at all. he went into the whole occupation movement thinking it was a bad idea and is leaving thinking same.
not that i agree with anything nicholas has said thus far on this topic. -------------------------------------------- Chuck Grimes:
In the past, anarchists served a useful function which was illustrated very well by starting the occupation of the abandon Traveler's Aid Society offices. Most people don't have the nerve to break into a closed building. This group did. So they function as something of a vangard. From the photo, it looked like the more peaceable or less nervy, took over and went to work setting things up.
