Occupy’s Asshole Problem: Flashbacks from An Old Hippie

-----------

There are other ways to deal with problem cases. One of them is to figure out the infrastructure needs: meal preparation, clean up including kitchen, waste disposal, and toilets. (Rent some toilets with that GA donation money, stupids.)

Then there is a daily sign up list and duties assigned. People who don't show up get a check. People who will not sign up, get tagged. This is straight out of the old environmental group (Save the Stanislaus) where I was a participant-organizer, whatever you call it.

At some point, it is obivious who has to get kicked out, because they are not willing to contribute. People who work together in maintenance build a lot of solidary in shared work, especially in more odious tasks of dirty work.
