Occupy Reflections on Class War Rebellion and Repression - Occupied Media Pamphlet Series Author:Noam Chomsky "Occupy is another vital contribution from Chomsky to the literature of defiance and protest, and a red-hot rallying call to forge a better, more egalitarian future."?Alternet"Occupy is at once a vivid portrait of the now-global movement and a practical guide to intelligent activism . . .

In this expanded edition, Occupy, Chomsky directs that critique to update his analysis of the financial crisis and the widespread repression waged against those who demand accountability and change. Since the crisis began, bankers have evicted ten million families, repossessed their homes, and destroyed their credit. Millions of these homeowners were victimized by bank fraud, theft, and predatory abuse. While more than 7,700 people have been arrested protesting that corporations be held accountable for their crimes, none of the perpetrators have been arrested. Why? Through talks and conversations, Occupy presents a lucid examination of the recent history of the rise of corporate power, its corrupting influence, financial manipulation, and what people in the United States and around the world can and should do to win higher levels of freedom from economic injustice. Born of the moment, accessible, affordable, and designed to fit in your back pocket, the new edition of Occupy is destined to be classic in an underground freedom literature.« less
