among other things, he talks about the difference between OWS and OO, arguing that OO is organizing at the neighborhood level, involving people in campaigns, as opposed to OWS which pursued tactics that involved getting the message in the media. He doesn't want to necessarily dismiss the usefulness of OWS, indeed it's centrality, to OO.
