Thoughts on Occupy

 

Of course occupying Vancouver and playing the stock market

at first does seem to leave one in a contradiction

until one looks at the spectacle.

****************

In Vancouver we do not take revolution seriously

and instead are mostly divided into special interest groups

who do have notions of discontent

which may  or may not be caused

by a  brutal neo liberal Washington consensus program.

 

The pervasiveness of financialization

demands one behave in accordance

within the guidelines of ‘private property”

or you will not own or even let a home.

 

terms don’t exist.

Yesterday i spoke with an old associate from high school he was now a sergeant in the Vancouver police force. He was always a good guy

and i told him we wanted to take oppressor hierarchies down

and he said for that to happen we would need more people…

he said on the weekend

more natural

resources

become

more rich.

*******

wage slavery
