But yes, I think you are absolutely right. And I don't think of that as "merely" an academic or analytic point. There might be a tendency, if/when OWS loses steam, to think of that as a failure, as "the" end, and to think its demise means future action is necessarily limited, constricted, or impossible. I see pauses as being beneficial, even necessary, to recharge and rethink and as a "relief from the burden of constant self-mobilization," as Katja Diefenbach has put it.
