    NO STABLE GROUND: REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT ANNA SZOLUCHA PhD Thesis Department of Sociology, Maynooth University November 2014 Head of Department: Prof. Mary Corcoran Supervisor: Dr Laurence Cox Rodzicom To my Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is an outcome of many joyous and creative (sometimes also puzzling) encounters that I shared with the participants of Occupy in Ireland and the San Francisco Bay Area. I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

To that end, this paper is a tribune of those struggling to create such a new economic system. It is a vehicle to bring the movement to- gether, to create a vision of a better world and a strategy to achieve it. Labor-replacing electronic technol- ogy is permanently eliminating jobs and destroying the founda- tion of the capitalist system. The people’s needs can only be met by building a cooperative soci- ety where the socially necessary means of production are owned by society, not by the corporations.

  • Defend Occupy Oakland with the Muscle of Organized Labor
    DEFEND OCCUPY OAKLAND WITH THE MUSCLE OF ORGANIZED LABOR Demonstrators in downtown Oakland Oakland North protesting the bank-driven economic crisis were brutally attacked by police from 18 Bay Area agencies on Tuesday Oct. 25. Mayor Quan, who was supported by ILWU Local 10 in the recent elections, ordered this bloody assault. Cops used potentially lethal weapons to break up the occupation of Frank Ogawa (now renamed Oscar Grant) Plaza just as they did in the port against anti-war protesters in 2003. That police attack was even criticized by the UN Human Rights Commission and ended up costing Oakland over $2 million in civil suits. Then-Local 10 longshoreman Billy Oakland teachers march in solidarity with Occupy Oakland, Oct. 26. Kepo’o was hit in the hand by a police tear gas canister causing a bloody mess. Now, Iraqi war vet, Scott Olsen, was hit in the head with a police projectile, causing a fracture and putting him in critical condition in Highland Hospital. This is exactly what killed one of the strikers in Seattle in the Big Strike of 1934. That history of police violence against strikers is why our Local 10 Constitution bans cops from membership in our union. Last year, Local 10 shutdown all ports to protest the police killing of young Oscar Grant. This year ILWU has been supporting Occupy Wall Street. Just last Monday the San Francisco Labor Council declared the Occupy San Francisco and Occupy Wall Street “sanctioned union strike lines” offering the protesters an umbrella of union protection. ILWU is under attack from PMA employers, not just here in the port of Oakland but especially in Longview, Washington.

  • Mayor Bloomberg Announced That the Very Act of Challenging Wall Street Would Be Treated As a Crime
    SPRING 2012 ISSUE 6 vote every day deep democratic moment, something most of us have never seen and scarcely imagined, turned a small park A near Wall Street into the center of a global storm. Everybody knows the deck is stacked. But it turns out not every- body is willing to put up with it. Without asking permission, hundreds converged on the financial district to stop the machine. People convened open assemblies to think out loud together. Kitchens were built and volunteers served hundreds of thousands of meals. Books were borrowed and lent at the People’s Library with no need for a card. Nobody did it for the money. Occupy Wall Street changed not just what we think is realistic, but what is actually possible. Then the 1% hit back. “If you want to get arrested, we’ll accommodate you,” is how Mayor Bloomberg announced that the very act of challenging Wall Street would be treated as a crime. “Nobody can hear you when everybody’s yelling and SPRING TRAINING AT LIBERTY SQUARE: Eight months into direct democracy and screaming and pushing and shoving.” Funny stuff. fear is still not on the agenda. Learning direct action and consensus decision-making In school, we were taught that we are free to speak and free — to keep the pressure on Wall Street. PHOTO: Jed Brandt to assemble. Now we’re told we have “First Amendment Rights Areas” located inside steel barricades. Over the last eight months, ST nearly 7,000 have been arrested and occupations in dozens of cit- ies have been systematically evicted.

    SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, CONSUMERS AND GLOBALIZATION Syed Tariq Anwar, West Texas A&M University WT Box 60809, College of Business, Canyon, Texas 79016 Email: [email protected], Tel: (806) 651-2491 ABSTRACT Drawing on the literature of social movements (SMs), the work analyzes and discusses the role SMs play in consumption, marketing and globalization. Since the literature on SMs in marketing is sparse and limited, we look at the research avenues of this debate in marketing and its related areas. We also discuss “the Occupy Movement” that in a short time has become a major movement in the U.S. Within SMs’ multidisciplinary literature and multifaceted contributions, the paper systematically evaluates and analyzes SMs and their conceptual issues and frameworks that relate to consumers and globalization. Findings of the paper reveal that SMs play an important role in marketing regarding consumption and global markets. The work also provides SM-specific research agenda and research settings that deal with marketing. We believe that this paper carries meaningful implications and managerial applications. Keywords: Consumers; Globalization; Marketing; Social Movements. INTRODUCTION In marketing, business ethics and globalization, SMs are important regarding their formal and informal activities, networks, consumer protests, and agendas. History reveals that SMs carry distinct organizational cultures and operational platforms that bring major structural changes in the business world. History also reveals that SMs can be exemplary organizations as well as self-serving nefarious entities. In the last few years, there is a renewed interest in SMs because of their tangible impact on consumption and marketing (Wikipedia, 2011). There are a multitude of active SMs in global markets that one way or another impact consumers, company-specific activities, and globalization areas.

  • Occupy Online 10 24 2011
    Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Neal Caren [email protected] Sarah Gaby [email protected] University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill October 24, 2011 Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1943168 Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Summary Since Occupy Wall Street began in New York City on September 17th, the movement has spread offline to hundreds of locations around the globe. Social networking sites have been critical for linking potential supporters and distributing information. In addition to Facebook pages on the Wall Street Occupation, more than 400 unique pages have been established in order to spread the movement across the US, including at least one page in each of the 50 states. These Facebook pages facilitate the creation of local encampments and the organization of protests and marches to oppose the existing economic and political system. Based on data acquired from Facebook, we find that Occupy groups have recruited over 170,000 active Facebook users and more than 1.4 million “likes” in support of Occupations. By October 22, Facebook pages related to the Wall Street Occupation had accumulated more than 390,000 “likes”, while almost twice that number, more than 770,000, have been expressed for the 324 local sites. Most new Occupation pages were started between September 23th and October 5th. On October 11th, occupy activity on Facebook peaked with 73,812 posts and comments to an occupy page in a day. By October 22nd, there had been 1,170,626 total posts or comments associated with Occupation pages.
