[lbo-talk] end of OWS?

[Carrol Cox]

I'm glad everyone is happy. I want to emphasize however that I would 
have continued equally happy with ANY of the scenarios painted in these 
different accounts.  OWS regardless of its internal pluses or minuses 
and regardless of how it ends or does not end, is already a total and 
wholly unexpected triumph for the left forces of the world. Angelus 
really said the last word on it in his Thank You post from inside Der Linke.

The issue of "demands" however now has (and should have) a separate 
existence, independently of its relevance or non-relevance to OWS. The 
perspective on demands which seems to dominate here (and if I'm mistaken 
that will come out in days to come) is equally inappropriate to both 
Parties and various kinds of mass movements; demands are being discussed 
in anon-political and, really _merely_  academic way. More (and more and 
more) to come.
