OCCUPY SANDBOX

haha i was just about to type "property is theft"

i was just leaning towards more recent stuff--i read a lot of proudhon & kropotkin in college and as "timeless" as it was it was also frustrating that these were mostly dudes that had died a century ago. took crimethinc to made me realize people were still talking about this stuff.

Gotcha — I'm only now getting into Proudhon, Kropotkin, Bakunin et al so I'm no expert. All this is pretty much extra-curricular so I don't have as much time to spend on it as I would like.

btw some friends of mine in a dc art group put up this lil "guerilla gallery" in the park today, all pieces about economic inequality

park police said we can't have it there "because this is where you have GAs." not kidding.

they moved it to a diff lawn, all copasetic.

plan is for companion "galleries" to pop up throughout the city.

ilx shld be more like facebook because i want to 'like' every hoos update on this thread.

xposts those seem like legit recommendations. thanks you. gonna get on that for the new year.

don't know if this is inline with occupy (and its the first time i've heard of it): lawrence lessig and mark meckler held a 'conference on the constitutional convention' back in sept. i'm convinced at this point that an article 5 convention might be the only viable avenue for occupy to get its needs met. otherwise it seems occupy will be relegated to local skirmishes with little effect at the federal level. not that local activism isn't equally noble.

the url is unfortunate: http://conconcon.org/
