We will look at the occupying movements from a global, world-wide perspective and share experiences and ideas about their significance and strengths. We would like for the discussion to be as wide as possible. This is not organized as a ‘teach-in’, but rather as an open forum. Issues of social class, the role of the state and the political organization of the ruling class and how this movement and the ones in other countries have approached these issues will be questions for the discussion. All welcome.
