THE LEFT IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE LEFT!
Reflections on the Occupy Wall Street Phenomenon: What it Represents, Its Prospects, Its Deficiencies --
I get it. :D
I enjoyed your discussion and I think that the key to this movement is the internet and forums such as this. We have the chance to discuss ideas, gather information, and directly involve the participation of this movement through using this tool.
I see that you have a leftist perspective, which I tend to share as well- but I believe it is key for this movement to be built on a foundation that can span across the entire political spectrum. This can be done by providing intelligent arguments from various perspectives, backing these up with sources, and allowing the public to vote and discuss their importance.
I made a post about a general concept of how I think this can be achieved, but I alone do not have the knowledge to make the posts/pages/wikis that we could use. It is going to take a lot of hard work and research to build this foundation, but it is something I am committed to working on.
Please read my post and let me know what you think about the concept building a collective foundation, changes you would make, and any ways you may be able to help.
