This is only the beginning

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a result of the frustration of a commoditized society, in which the mere existence of an individual carries a price tag. The protesters might differ in race, gender, occupation and the reasons why they are camping at the Wall Street, but the one string uniting them is the opposition to the principle upon which the contemporary society is build upon: profits above people. It is a people’s resistance to the philosophy of the domination of market forces upon the will of the people.

David Graeber, an anthropologist who took part in the demonstration on Sunday said “If you look at who showed up in Egypt and Spain, it was mostly young people, and most of them were people who had gone through the educational system, who were deeply in debt, and who found it completely impossible to get jobs. The system has completely failed them. If there’s going to be any kind of society worth living in, we’re going to have to create it ourselves.”

The American public seems to have finally begun to wake up from the deep slumber of their social consciousness caused by a society of ruthless consumerism and a regime that has institutionalised indiscriminate greed. This is the moment that the people of America and the rest of the world has been looking forward to: the moment when the foundations of this ‘all-pervasive’ system will begin to crumble. That moment has arrived!!

All Day.. All Week.. Occupy Wall Street

Finally the American public has waken up to the global call for revolution. Right now, there are more than 9000 Americans gathered at the Wall Street with one common agenda “Occupy Wall Street”. Inspired by the massive public protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and Madrid’s Puerta del Sol Square, thousands have slept outside Wall Street for the past two nights starting from 17th September. One of the protesters says “This system of permanent growth is neither sustainable nor reasonable. This system is about to collapse on its own way. We are here to make it happen a little bit faster.”
