This Is What Revolution Looks Like
Posted on Nov 15, 2011
By Chris Hedges


Welcome to the revolution. Our elites have exposed their hand. They have nothing to offer. They can destroy but they cannot build. They can repress but they cannot lead. They can steal but they cannot share. They can talk but they cannot speak. They are as dead and useless to us as the water-soaked books, tents, sleeping bags, suitcases, food boxes and clothes that were tossed by sanitation workers Tuesday morning into garbage trucks in New York City. They have no ideas, no plans and no vision for the future.

Our decaying corporate regime has strutted in Portland, Oakland and New York with their baton-wielding cops into a fool’s paradise. They think they can clean up “the mess”—always employing the language of personal hygiene and public security—by making us disappear. They think we will all go home and accept their corporate nation, a nation where crime and government policy have become indistinguishable, where nothing in America, including the ordinary citizen, is deemed by those in power worth protecting or preserving, where corporate oligarchs awash in hundreds of millions of dollars are permitted to loot and pillage the last shreds of collective wealth, human capital and natural resources, a nation where the poor do not eat and workers do not work, a nation where the sick die and children go hungry, a nation where the consent of the governed and the voice of the people is a cruel joke.

Get back into your cages, they are telling us. Return to watching the lies, absurdities, trivia and celebrity gossip we feed you in 24-hour cycles on television. Invest your emotional energy in the vast system of popular entertainment. Run up your credit card debt. Pay your loans. Be thankful for the scraps we toss. Chant back to us our phrases about democracy, greatness and freedom. Vote in our rigged political theater. Send your young men and women to fight and die in useless, unwinnable wars that provide corporations with huge profits. Stand by mutely as our bipartisan congressional super committee, either through consensus or cynical dysfunction, plunges you into a society without basic social services including unemployment benefits. Pay for the crimes of Wall Street.


....


Despotic regimes in the end collapse internally. Once the foot soldiers who are ordered to carry out acts of repression, such as the clearing of parks or arresting or even shooting demonstrators, no longer obey orders, the old regime swiftly crumbles. When the aging East German dictator Erich Honecker was unable to get paratroopers to fire on protesting crowds in Leipzig, the regime was finished. The same refusal to employ violence doomed the communist governments in Prague and Bucharest. I watched in December 1989 as the army general that the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu had depended on to crush protests condemned him to death on Christmas Day. Tunisia’s Ben Ali and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak lost power once they could no longer count on the security forces to fire into crowds.

The process of defection among the ruling class and security forces is slow and often imperceptible. These defections are advanced through a rigid adherence to nonviolence, a refusal to respond to police provocation and a verbal respect for the blue-uniformed police, no matter how awful they can be while wading into a crowd and using batons as battering rams against human bodies. The resignations of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan’s deputy, Sharon Cornu, and the mayor’s legal adviser and longtime friend, Dan Siegel, in protest over the clearing of the Oakland encampment are some of the first cracks in the edifice. “Support Occupy Oakland, not the 1% and its government facilitators,” Siegel tweeted after his resignation.

There were times when I entered the ring as a boxer and knew, as did the spectators, that I was woefully mismatched. Ringers, experienced boxers in need of a tuneup or a little practice, would go to the clubs where semi-pros fought, lie about their long professional fight records, and toy with us. Those fights became about something other than winning. They became about dignity and self-respect. You fought to say something about who you were as a human being. These bouts were punishing, physically brutal and demoralizing. You would get knocked down and stagger back up. You would reel backward from a blow that felt like a cement block. You would taste the saltiness of your blood on your lips. Your vision would blur. Your ribs, the back of your neck and your abdomen would ache. Your legs would feel like lead. But the longer you held on, the more the crowd in the club turned in your favor. No one, even you, thought you could win. But then, every once in a while, the ringer would get overconfident. He would get careless. He would become a victim of his own hubris. And you would find deep within yourself some new burst of energy, some untapped strength and, with the fury of the dispossessed, bring him down. I have not put on a pair of boxing gloves for 30 years. But I felt this twinge of euphoria again in my stomach this morning, this utter certainty that the impossible is possible, this realization that the mighty will fall.

Once the police side with the protestors, it's over.

George Orwell wrote that all tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but that once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.We have now entered the era of naked force.

No big deal. You can't answer direct questions about your beliefs as well. I can see why you identify with the posers in these groups.

[Nbadan]

I support the cause, as do a majority of people on this forum....but I'm not here to represent OWS.....I'm just telling you what's ahead....

....if you really wanted to know more about the OWS movement you can put your big boys pants on, go to google and find out everything you want to know

Really not surprised you can't use google.....but really surprised you can use a web browser and feed yourself...your really sad and pathetic Chumpy...

.....no pictures for you....


As police swooped on the park in the early hours of Tuesday, the city closed airspace in lower Manhattan to prevent news helicopters taking aerial shots of the scene. Vans were used to obscure views of the park and a police cordon effectively blocked accredited media from reaching the site. Some of those members of the press who were in the park or were able to get there say they were arrested, pepper sprayed or treated aggressively.

One of the few reporters on the scene when the police moved in was Josh Harkinson, a writer for Mother Jones magazine. As police used tear gas to remove the last protesters from the park Harkinson identified himself as a member of the media and was physically dragged out of the park. He was told that reporters had to stay in a "press pen".

Reporters tweeted their frustration using the hashtag #mediablackout and said police were ignoring and even confiscating press passes.

A New York Post reporter was "roughed up" according to the New York Times' Brian Stelter. Lindsey Christ, of local cable-news channel NY1, said on-air this morning that "the police took over, they kept everybody out and they wouldn't let media in. It was very planned."

It's only a matter of time before the street gangs unite and exact revenge, once they smell weakness in the system

[mavs>spurs]

talk about an army of a million strong who have been oppressed, abused, and beat up by the system...oh and they're fucking pissed.

[Nbadan]

Poser? :lol

Are you back in the nineties?

Oh...there's a poser here but it's not me....

the poser is the guy who has 63,000 posts but has never really posted anything worth reading...someday, you'll be forgotten Chumpy, nothing but a blip in history..but my thousands of threads, archived in servers all over the world....their immortality...

[Nbadan]

talk about an army of a million strong who have been oppressed, abused, and beat up by the system...oh and they're fucking pissed.

There will be some who will want to get violent, but the movement has to stay peaceful....police will turn because they are part of the 99%...

...the more force on non-violent protestors they have to apply, the faster the change will come..

[mavs>spurs]

it could easily devolve into total chaos though because after years of police corruption, there are many many americans who would jump at the chance to exact revenge

You actually derive a sense of pride from the time you waste in here? It's an entertaining diversion; keep your perspective. You thinking there's gonna be a philosophy course in a millenia:

"The musings of NBADan, how they went Unheeded, What they can teach us"? or "Don't ignore the sage in the basement"?

[101A]

No, it's really you, armchair revolutionary.

I hate it when you prove I'm full of shit.

Usually entertain me otherwise.

We wouldn't even need the police or national guard to take out those bitches. If they ever leave their kennel and quit fucking with each other and start fucking with the productive class we will kill them like the rabid dogs they are. At least in Texas, they will be outnumbered and outgunned.

[ChumpDumper]

...stalker.....admit it now Chumpy, your a truther......Do you believe the `9/11 commission is accurate,do you believe in the official report on 9/11 is accurate or not?

Until you answer that question, quit stalking me...I've given my opinion of the report to you and everyone several times in this very forum.

Feel free to use the search function, poser.

And, while you're at it, give us your specific theory about what really happened on 9/11.

[Nbadan]

So, you are a truther...

See, that wasn't hard was it...no need to be all moody about it....

Now....do you support the OWS movement or not?

[ChumpDumper]

So, you are a truther...

See, that wasn't hard was it...no need to be all moody about it....lol you don't even know what I said about it.


Now....do you support the OWS movement or not?What do they want?

And what is your specific theory about what really happened on 9/11?

you're wrong there buddy, talk about a bunch of killers with no remorse and a lot more firepower than you, unless you have illegal fully auto weapons

but they won't be coming for you, there will only be one group of black and blue guys that they are coming after..

[mavs>spurs]

also, it's easy to talk shit from the safety of your farm without a real G around for miles..something you've probably never seen before in south texas. it's like saying you would go to prison and run that bitch- no. you'd get turned the fuck out on the first day, they'd have you wearing kool aid on your lips for lipstick and giving up ass. you're talking about hardened killers who have been in and out of the prison system, n1ggas who live that lifestyle. if you came to south dallas and started yapping about bloods i guarantee you wouldn't leave with your life.

[mavs>spurs]

:lmao the thought of CC putting around Bonton or 44 in his 72 chevy talking shit about n!gg3rs and shit about rabid dogs getting run the fuck out of the hood

they weren't innocents homie, they all had to go for some reason or another

[spursncowboys]

I strongly doubt that 8 people were killed by the same person from the ghetto. And then said person would admit to it on the internet.

[mavs>spurs]

i haven't admitted to any particulars homie, it couldn't ever be traced so it doesn't matter. if i'm ever questioned then i was just trollin. nah i ain't ever killed anyone homie, but i'd walk right up to you and look you in the eye before i bucked you with the gauge, hypothetically of course anonymous internet poster
