"Occupying is a tactic. That a movement has been built on such a
brilliantly simple idea epitomizes the urgency of the multiple struggles
faced across the world. Taking back public space with physical bodies
utilizing virtual technologies from elite private corporations
(manipulating politicians) inflicting debt-peonage: why must this be a
united front with a guiding principle of non-violence? The totalized nature
of capitalism today has made conventional confrontations impossible; the
diversity of struggles and beliefs roughly getting along at occupy camps
and events is the beginnings of a critical community. Multiple resistances
are connecting together in communication, for alone none could stand
against the behemoth staring at us. This is a divided revolution (as I
argued here) that will only be conquered or rendered impotent if one
faction tries to become the whole. We have the momentum and the resilience
to survive; conversation, angry dialogue, impassioned debate can and must
continue without silencing the other. "
