The Cancer in Occupy

From the program summary at Unwelcome Guests #666:

"... The discussion takes a nuanced look at different aspects of the Black Bloc such as wearing masks, damaging property and resisting arrest. As suggested by the introduction, the question of what is the purpose of Occupy remains central to the discussion, as does who gets to define what violence is? Is it violent to turn someone in to the police or to the banking authorities? To sell them a crooked mortgage? Or to evict them when they can't pay? Why did Obama describe the uprising in Egypt as non-violent, when around 100 police stations were burnt down and rocks were thrown at police? Are black bloc demonstrators violent for throw empty tear gas canisters back at police?

We conclude with a few minutes of thoughts about Occupy from Charles Eisenstein, who reminds us that as far as he's concerned, it's not about the 99% defeating the 1%. "
