this is f ing awesome.. congratz, u guys made a great occupation. Im an anarchist communist and love this shit. Dont listen to the haters u guys are taking the fore in the radical action that is needed not just to fix the schools but to challenge all these structures of power and attempt at creating a better life. Great job. hope to see these protest everyewar. I have faith that we can still help create a better world
You guys should try wearing different clothes. Your clothes say that you are wealthy. Try wearing hand-made robes. I think it will elicit more sympathy.
Does participating in a protest like this on, having professional photographs of you in windows, and being arrested get you a better job after college? I am thinking such an act is attention seeking and is like a resume for political activism. I also love the Che Guevara and muslim looks; how retro. Come on guys, your high priced clothes don't give me the impression you are poor students. Try robes and ashes.

Pathetic. A better strategy would of been to negotiate with a regent himself or to be more extreme kidnap like two and kill one and lock em up in the building with some brave followers at your side. THEN demands would be met in exchange for self-sacrafice of going to jail or getting killed by police, i bet.
Hi, occupy everything!!!!! u should know that in Puerto Rico (thats righ, the caribbean island wich is an american territoy or colony) the students and workers are having a similar fight for the right to having acces to education!!! if u want to know more about our strougle let me know. We got to occupy the Universidad de Puerto Rico for 60 days!!! And we got won all our demands!!! But we continue to fight the intentions of the administration to end the acces to an education.
What exactly gives you the right to commit the crimes of burglary, felony vandalism, and criminal trespass? Do you think that because your outraged that your tuition has gone up that entitles you to commit crimes? O thats right you don't. These fools should be expelled.
@mikesternberg you are quick to judge these student's crimes but you fail to see the crimes committed by the state. it is called critical thinking, you should try it.
@jenndawg000 I already did my critical thinking. Your justifying crime based on outrage against government policy. Let me help you out since I already have my degree with a hint: "Two wrongs don't make a right. "Now can you see the logical fallacy in your making excuses for the clearly criminal behaviors of others.
@jenndawg000 You do realize those abortion clinic murderers use the same "justification" and "nullification" (corrections terms look them up) techniques as you do to excuse their crimes. I grade you a F for bad logic.
@mikesternberg what exactly gives the boston colonists in 1773 to commit the crimes of vandalism, littering, theft, trespassing, etc? (Boston Tea Party) Do you study american history at all? according to your assessment over this protest, it seems like you would fit in very well in china or some country with a dictator.
@jenndawg000 simple they were fighting against tyranny. Your whining about a tuition raise that is occurring because the state is broke. There is no comparison. Those crybaby protesters can work two jobs to pay for college like I did. BTW you get free tuition for enlisting in the US Army if your that broke then I suggest the GI Bill. Nobody owes you an education go out and earn it like I with my military service.
What a bunch of little punks, first off they won't show their faces, cover them up like jihadists. They are clearly to lame to understand that it's the union "solidarity" that is breaking the education system.
If you want free education then tell your professors to volunteer for duty to 'teach" you in the park.
You little punks haven't paid a dime in taxes, how dare you tear up MY property.
nonsense. Sweden is still a role model for the whole world thanks to Palme and Co. Again I must tell you it is a shame, how you mix up a democratic wellfare state with fascist dictatorship. The theory of Hajek that the wellfare state would become an oppression was proven wrong by history.
Embarrasing... this could really lower UCs reputation. The students protesting against the liberal ideology ("privatization") while the govurnment is going closer the fascism. (The opposite to liberal (or "privatization")).
In other words the student are verry uneducated in politics or economics.
Btw is nothing free. The meaning of "free education" is that someone else pays for you because you won't take responsibility for your own actions. I know this since I live in Sweden, where it is "free"
Normally people from Sweden are quite educated. You are not. Fascism is a tool of the capital (Henkel, Theissen, Krupp, Farben IG paid the NSDAP) opposing labour unions, democracy and social rights. Compare poverty in Sweden and the US and think about it, when demanding "education only for the rich"
Haha yeah right. And I guess you are from Sweden just like me, and that you are as normal-educated as many swedish people and believe that people with low income in the US can't afford an education. US have a higher ratio high educated people than sweden and anyone can study for example engineering if they want to in state universities. And you can't differ just like many swedes the difference in state capitalism, interventionism or Laissez fare. (Fascism = state capitalism)
Gone? I wanted to inform that Olof Palme is one of the people responsible for the increased fascism of swedish politics during the 70s and 80s. He is also the one with most responsible for the swedish economy going from the world third richest to bancruptcy. He took money from profit making organizations and put it into to huge non-profit organization and motivated a massive laziness. Of course this result in an hugh debt and abnormoly high taxes that our generation has to pay off
If somethings feels "free" so is probably someone else paying for you. I never said that the university is "free". And what tution fees they wan't to take is all up to them. But what I said to the other swede above is that there exist university educations for tution fees a lot smaller than what we see in many american movies. But I guess I'm not having this discussion with the brightest guy on the planet either.
@JoeThePhilosopher Actually it used to be free. Why don't you actually do some reading. Also, a $20-$350 fee to go to college is still virtually free.

man you must be some really sorry ass fascist piece of shit.aren't you?mabe if it weren't for fucks like you,the world would be a much more pleasant place to be.shark,man eating fuck
I myself was active in the protest, but at CCSF (City College of San Francisco) on the 18th where it was very peaceful (not silent!). I didn't realize how intense the UC protest was.
There are so many things I could say. There is a lot that I think was handled poorly, and vise versa. I agree with many statements here as well as disagree. We have to think in new ways. As such, I am on an assembly against budget cuts. Keep going fellows, the future depends on us!

"We want public education that is free!"
-A spoiled, naive and stupid statement.
"If those demands are filled, we will then enter into negotiations in a democratic fashion with this University"
-Self-important delusions of grandeur.
I admire the passion here, but the mentality is so childish. Gimme, gimme, gimme, or I'll throw a tantrum. Yes, budget cuts are deeply unfortunate, but the tax base won't support current spending. Budgets *are* a zero-sum game. What would these folks cut?

Two--Concealment, flight, or escape, when charged with, arrested for, or convicted of, any public offense. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
Second, the UC's are PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF EDUCATION. Hence, by definition, education needs to be affordable. The UC's are NOT PRIVATE! So everyone can stop hating on students/faculty/ and other folks who believe that education should be affordable. No one needs to drop of because they can't afford Berkeley-the system should and NEEDS to change so people DONT drop out. Stop being to scared to challenge the system. It's been done before, it can be done again.
I don't entirely agree with the occupation because I think that there are other forms of approaching this educational crisis. Regardless, it is undeniable that the regents needs to be DEMOCRATIZED! Life is not fair. Duh. But we live in a "democratic" country, so let's fight for that as much as possible!
i love it when people say silly things like this. "you know those protestors have bank accounts and they say banks are bad." this really has nothing to do with the issues being brought up. get a life, you half-wit.

THROW THEIR SPOILED BRAT ASS'S IN THE STREET! Kick every one of them out and replace them with Third World children who cant even attend basic school, let alone the almighty Berkely. These students are absolutely useless.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm curious....when these kids actually reach reality one day, will they resort to lock-ins, dressing like thugs and barricading themselves in buildings as the way to handle layoffs, stock market losses, etc.? You know, some of the things that happen in the real world outside Berkley, and any other college? Tantrum's should stop when you get out of diapers.
If their SPOILED BRAT ASS'S cant afford Berkley, drop the hell out and go somewhere cheaper. That is reality.
I am an asshole. I don't deny that. But it takes assholes to tell it like it is. Stop crying like a damn baby and go get a job instead of sucking off the system and whining.
i'm an embryologist performing ivf and i've worked my ass off to get to where i am.also 4\6 of population has a job u idiot.only bloodsucking canibals take away their dignity and their quality of life
get a job?is that all you have to say?it is because of assholes like you that the planet is heading towards environmental distruction,policies you support.and 4/6 of the population living in poverty you piece of shit.now go to work like a good robot and leave people alone writting what they want
4/6 of the population living in poverty and all you do is cry and whine. If you got a job you would learn about those in the work place that suck off the system. They try to distract and take away the attention from themselves and their laziness by pointing their fingers at others and whining instead of rolling up their sleeves and working. It causes more problems and less gets done. LOL It has nothing to do with the policies cause every organization has problems. Get a job!
Life is NOT FAIR. But some economic systems are A LOT more unfair than others. Why the hell do you think the Soviet Union fell. It was the workers who fought and died who finely got the right to organize that brought down the corrupt system of socialism there.
Give me a break. You are just plain ignorant and stupid if you believe socialism is more fair. Socialism hurts the poor and middle class a hell of a lot more. Not only do you lose more by having to work a lot more but you also lose more of your rights. Why the hell do you think they organized these kids to protest? to help the working class? It is them that are on our backs.
So your plan is to take from the last few who are working? To take from those who have at least the hope of escaping by giving them some bull crap illusion of a social utopia. That was tried and it failed because the thieves of the working man were exposed and defeated. It didn't work. I'm sorry to break the news to you. It was proven and found to be lacking.
Won't argue that point. There are some real dumbasses who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Timothy geithner is one. Obama was another. Neither worked an honest days work in the lives and got where they are because of their parents political connections but I'm not gonna screw myself or my kids future because of that. I'm not gonna take away or let my kid's rights be taken away because of that.
It can also motivate. It sure motivated me in getting an education and bettering myself. And I am not talking about going to school. I am talking about getting an education.
So your solution is throw everyone out. Your solution doesn't work because those who have fought and worked their whole lives to better themselves will just quit. When the productive members of your society quit, you will be f-cked. I mean really f-cked and a barrel of a gun won't work.
Banking was concieved in inquity and born in sin. The bankers own the world. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create deposits and with a flick of a pen, they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. But take that away from them and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear as they ought to disappear, for the world would be a happier place.
But if you wish to live in slavery and pay the cost of your own slavery then let them continue to create deposits -- Sir Joseph Stamp (England's Central Banker).......Marx wasn't stupid when he called for a strong central bank in the Communist Manifesto......The same assholes that did this to us are the same assholes behind these student protests.
I don't dent that. It pisses me off though that the same people mobilizing these students are some of the very same ones responsible for a lot of this crap.
The monetary system is based on a fiat money system that is expanded by fractional reserve banking. Money is loaned into existance and must forever keep expanding to keep a collapse from happening. It promotes consumerism. Why do they continue? Cause it enslaves people to others. Obama is a puppet of this system as much as Bush was.
I guess that is why people are flocking there by the millions every year. That is why they have to put up fences I guess? To keep all the illegal immigrants out. ROFL Somebody REALLY FED YOU a load of crap! LOL
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that people aren't flocking there by the millions. Why do you suppose? O well, because the boob tube said it, or a professor said it, or a book said it, you believe it. LOL
I am an asshole. I was made an asshole by the people who organized these students. They screwed me royally when I was the same age as these students. I didn't know what I know now. I learned the hard way. I was educated. The ones who organized these students are the same exact people. They made me what I am today and I REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
43 students and their 400-800 freeloader supporters of course do not REPRESENT 55 MILLION TAXPAYING (working for a living) RESIDENTS of CALIFORNIA.
The cost of things are rising everywhere, why should education be free... .NOTHING IS FREE, we even have to exert effort to breathe and piss....
SORRY, TOTALLY MISGUIDED PROTEST will only lead to these "students" receiving some form of punishment. Of course, they are heroes "in their own minds".
of course a cheetah is not entitled to its prey. it has to work hard in order to obtain its goal, the gazelle.
likewise an education is not just a diploma that is handed to students, they have to spend several years working towards it. the point is that they should be entitled to the right to do so.
the cheetah is born with ridiculous speed in order to accomplish its needs. we are born with incredible brains. use it.
I worked full time to put myself thru engineering school (undergrad and Masters).... Full-time Work and Full-time Engineering School at the same time for 8 fucking years. It was the best time of my LIFE... that's why I speak with CONVICTION.
Trust me, it is totally worth "EARNING" it.....like I said it was the "greatest time of my life"... I loved it, that is actually how I got thru the drama!
was this before the cost of education had inflated to the level it is now?
many students work near full time jobs and can still not afford the cost of attendance. The point of a public school is so that is accessible to the general public (even if they have to "work" for it). At this point it is beginning to surpass its accessible nature.
Well, since I graduated after 1913, when Fed Reserve took over the money issue....
Look, we have been inflating money supply every year since 1913.. Every year, everything cost 3-4% more than previous.
Schools tend to hold tuition steady for awhile, and then make another jump...but, then so do wages...
Sorry, these kids are under no greater burden than kids 10,20,30 years ago....remember, wages were lower. I remember my minimum wage in H.S. was like $2.35/hr or something...
even after you account for inflation, today things are far far more expensive
if you think what we have to deal with today is the same as what americans had 40, 30 years ago, please refer to historical tuition rates and historical wages and see for yourself
the gov makes low interest loans for students, which causes the price of tuition to go wayy up.
almost all students take student loans - and if they didn't have that available, they wouldn't be able to attend college/uni. but if the gov stopped subsidizing the tuition, the price would have only stayed with inflation, and almost anyone would be able to afford it.
normally, prices are regulated by what the buyer chooses to buy and what not to buy they make the choice by what they can afford and the seller adjusts prices to respond. but in the case of the uni if the students cant afford, (and hardly any can) they just borrow more and bear the debt. even if the students are crushed with debt they will still show up to class -thus the uni never has any reason to respond with lower prices if anything they raise them to pay for useless bells and whistles
Amen! And that is what pisses me off about Obama's plan. It continues the practise and ups the anty. With the government stepping in even more it will cause prices to shoot up even more. They need to get the hell out but then prices will drop and they don't want that.

How long has this protest been going.
Solutionstoourworld 2 years ago
I myself was active in the protest, but at CCSF (City College of San Francisco) on the 18th where it was very peaceful (not silent!). I didn't realize how intense the UC protest was.
There are so many things I could say. There is a lot that I think was handled poorly, and vise versa. I agree with many statements here as well as disagree. We have to think in new ways. As such, I am on an assembly against budget cuts. Keep going fellows, the future depends on us!

"We want public education that is free!"
-A spoiled, naive and stupid statement.
"If those demands are filled, we will then enter into negotiations in a democratic fashion with this University"
-Self-important delusions of grandeur.
I admire the passion here, but the mentality is so childish. Gimme, gimme, gimme, or I'll throw a tantrum. Yes, budget cuts are deeply unfortunate, but the tax base won't support current spending. Budgets *are* a zero-sum game. What would these folks cut?

Second, the UC's are PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF EDUCATION. Hence, by definition, education needs to be affordable. The UC's are NOT PRIVATE! So everyone can stop hating on students/faculty/ and other folks who believe that education should be affordable. No one needs to drop of because they can't afford Berkeley-the system should and NEEDS to change so people DONT drop out. Stop being to scared to challenge the system. It's been done before, it can be done again.

of course a cheetah is not entitled to its prey. it has to work hard in order to obtain its goal, the gazelle.
likewise an education is not just a diploma that is handed to students, they have to spend several years working towards it. the point is that they should be entitled to the right to do so.
the cheetah is born with ridiculous speed in order to accomplish its needs. we are born with incredible brains. use it.

was this before the cost of education had inflated to the level it is now?
many students work near full time jobs and can still not afford the cost of attendance. The point of a public school is so that is accessible to the general public (even if they have to "work" for it). At this point it is beginning to surpass its accessible nature.
mattmi11er11 2 years ago
Well, since I graduated after 1913, when Fed Reserve took over the money issue....
Look, we have been inflating money supply every year since 1913.. Every year, everything cost 3-4% more than previous.
Schools tend to hold tuition steady for awhile, and then make another jump...but, then so do wages...
Sorry, these kids are under no greater burden than kids 10,20,30 years ago....remember, wages were lower. I remember my minimum wage in H.S. was like $2.35/hr or something...
UnderseaCaveman 2 years ago
even after you account for inflation, today things are far far more expensive

Aloha, UC
UnderseaCaveman 2 years ago
they raised prices because of gov interference
the gov makes low interest loans for students, which causes the price of tuition to go wayy up.
almost all students take student loans - and if they didn't have that available, they wouldn't be able to attend college/uni. but if the gov stopped subsidizing the tuition, the price would have only stayed with inflation, and almost anyone would be able to afford it.
ik999 2 years ago
Ik999,
How do the "guareentied loans" (school doesn't issue) raise tuition??
Sorry, I don't see that "money flow"...
But, I do agree with you, that gov should not subsidize tuition....
UnderseaCaveman 2 years ago
normally, prices are regulated by what the buyer chooses to buy and what not to buy they make the choice by what they can afford and the seller adjusts prices to respond. but in the case of the uni if the students cant afford, (and hardly any can) they just borrow more and bear the debt. even if the students are crushed with debt they will still show up to class -thus the uni never has any reason to respond with lower prices if anything they raise them to pay for useless bells and whistles
ik999 2 years ago
Amen! And that is what pisses me off about Obama's plan. It continues the practise and ups the anty. With the government stepping in even more it will cause prices to shoot up even more. They need to get the hell out but then prices will drop and they don't want that.
