“Mooners, bongo-drummers, green salvationists, and under-appreciated arts graduates of the world unite and take over!” Or: moar blah about Occupy Melbourne.

“For Democracy and Discipline: A Plea to Occupy Melbourne”, James Pollard, abstractblack, October 25, 2011: This is an article on the eviction of the occupation. In it, I try to show how certain assumptions and ways of action, crystalised in the chants we raised on the day of eviction, defined and limited what the occupation was. Throughout the week, a clique of liberal-pacifist activists attempted to impose these ideas upon the entire assembly, and to take control of the general assembly. In the wake of the eviction, their coup over the assembly has come to pass, leaving us in circumstances that demand reflection, re-organisation, and preparation before future action can be carried out with confidence. In the same spirit, the Rooftop Collective has published some Notes on Occupy Melbourne. What it might mean. Where we might take it., October 25, 2011.
