Occupy Everything! Student Occupation Solidarity Action In NYC 11.19.09

At night on 19 Nov., approximately 75 (non)students from the New School, NYU, CUNY, and other university-factories in NYC marched from Washington to Union Squares and back in a gesture of solidarity with the wave of occupations that has swept the University of California system in response to the 32% tuition hike, budget cuts, and the reproduction of students as consumer-commodities ready to work for spectacle-subjects. The march saw crazy hooligans hanging banners off of buildings; masked rogues scattering trashcans, newspaper boxes and plastic barricades across Fifth Avenue; sexy dancing throughout the streets an attempted occupation of a Parsons art party as well as the good ol 65 5th ave. Unfortunately, the fun ended when cops managed to pierce the motley mob, arresting two after beating them on the sidewalk.

Until Next Time

i just don't know if kicking trash cans is a helpful response. i think your hearts are in the right place but your efforts would be best served acting more proactively. i don't think that this approach of ever so slightly-violent disobedience really would help you occupy anything that matters, ie "police stations, military bases, factories, office buildings etc. etc."

Looks more like a riot for anarchism than just a "peace protest" to me.

Im trying to find out the political philosphy of this group. Are they anarchist , Democrats whats the ideology.

[anarcrustie]

you may well be right, and that's definitely something the north american anarchist movement needs to face if we're going to be a serious threat. but, at least among folks i know, there's at least a serious attempt to understand and subvert their own privilidge, and there's certainly a commitment to fighting the class structures that fuel gentrification. if that's not present, you're right, there's a serious problem.

There is also a difference between debt and an investment. You are investing in yourself.

"anywhere space is being stolen from the commons"

What are the chances the majority of the people in this video live in neighborhoods were the people before them were priced out because these young hipsters gentrified it?

You are not solving the problem, you are the problem. While you are living the 1%er life in this world and bitching you are making it harder on people not as privileged as you, not easier. You need to get over yourself first if you want to make any real change.
