You can grow a garden and send your kids to a good school.

If you got your friends a fellow protestors/revolutionaries in the same area. Then when time for eviction came you could band together and block the evictions. If I were to occupy a house I would look into it and using the moral justification provided by recent digressions -stick it to the banks by finding foreclosures to live in. I wouldn't want to give justification for anger that occupying regular peoples property bring.

Then When I moved into the neighborhood I would invite some people to live with me. Together we could live in a hierarchy free household full of direct democracy and all of those things we talk about. Imagine that to live it!

Then we could get together with all our friends in the neighborhood and we would fix the park better than any government ever could. We could fix the houses and even patch up the potholes.

Maybe we could teach our kids together. Maybe we could do all sorts of stuff. Occupy has all of these supporters. It would be really neat if we did say to hell with all these rules and did what was actually right for once. We could work on getting the laws changed while they try to find us all.

We have to prove that we are serious but it is almost impossible to live sustainable without a place to do it. All these big green lawns should be growing food. We could do this if it weren't for the stupid laws. Thousands of homeless in a country with thousands of empty homes. It really is crazy.

We could do all sorts of stuff and we could live kinda free and we could take the time and we all could experiment on how to proceed. It would be really hard to find us all. We could always have a place to move lined up before we are ever evicted. We could have block parties!

Hmm it would be a really big undertaking... we would have to be prepared for anything and we would have to work together. We would have to know what is going on around us and we would have to have contingency plans too. But it would be the best hope we have to win the hearts of the rest of the people. If we can be good neighbors and go the extra mile we might be able to get some people on our side that wouldn't otherwise.

The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it. Abbie Hoffman

If I fancied myself a revolutionary this is how I would go about it. From within.

Which founding father they didn't really all think the same thing. The declaration and the constitution were a hotly contested compromise. Anyway I am not specifically interested outright destruction of the government or anything but rather for the people to assert their natural rights and reform the system if necessary or better yet obsoleting it. Best case scenario is an evolution of society and hierarchy.
