“No one is asking that

“No one is asking that question for the simple reason that everyone already knows the answer.”  What is that answer if everyone already know ? Forgive my ignorance. Many forms of resistance are declared revolutionary such as workers councils but if the content is disregarded we would declare that the Ulster Loyalists when they used a general strike through workers councils revolutionary.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Workers%27_Council The ultra-democratic form of the Occupy Movement has to be linked to its goal and if that purpose is simply to re-shape capitalism into another form then we must be critical.  DJP quite correctly poured scorn on members of Occupy viewing  tax evasion as the problem  (and i added the example of Iceland where the crisis is interpreted as a personal failing of capitalists). Do you now advocate a tax policy as a means of stopping the cuts or is it the actions of the protesters that is to be supported,  even if it is blindly motivated? A return to Bernstein – The goal is nothing; the movement is everything. I have seen your writings well enough to know that your understanding of capitalist economics is far superior to mine. The crisis will run its course until the opportunity of capital accumulation returns and  re-investment re-commences.  Buffet, a proponent of higher taxes, lays it out clear when he says “People invest to make money, and potential taxes have never scared them off.” The class struggle will require a lot more determination and action to reclaim our lost conditions than the tokenism of scape-goating tax-dodgers. I think its fair to say that the fight back has to take place in the work-place and within the unions, and not in the shopping mall or an Inland Revenue office. For myself, that remains the main battlefield, and sadly our presence there is probably even more scarce than in the Occupy Movement.
