You are not taking new phase of struggle of
anti-systematic movements seriously.
It is not the western equivalent of the peasant
revolution.
And its importance comes from this
propery.
It is a combination of middle classes - ethnic
people - feminists - people of South -
muslims - students - prisoners....
You can expand this list and this expansion gives the importance of
it.
A new movement is trying to exist, trying to theorize itself (in Porto
Alegre for example)
Also it is not symbolic, states started to kill people in demostrations
like happened in Genova.
Or during Seattle demos, it was arrested to go out.
You must know them, while I can learn a lot of thing from
Turkey.
You are talking about a new movement and so you have to be more
careful.
