Look. I see what Argentina did with the occupied factories. I get it to an extent as to why they did all this.

When Occupy started, I didn't think we'd take to the streets. I thought we were going to form new lateral worker groups and unions to the likes that hasn't been seen in a long ass time. I had THOUGHT that workers would stop simply unionizing and working hand in hand with privatization to reach compromises and just plain old start taking their labors back under the banner of direct democracy.

What does this mean? It means the state would have came down and probably KILL thousands in an attempt to defend property.

But I realized that no body is willing or ready to consider what it means to work or live by direct democratic control by the workers. And if it's just me. If it's just one guy, then that's easy to silence.

They ARE drum circle reformers who just happen to have long discussions about all the issues. But just like how May Day was pretty much a joke because there WASN'T a massive wildcat strike, it makes it easy for me to see why you and Versus is pessimistic about Occupy with the other issues.

They're still begging for the master to give them socialism, which is reformism.
