Occupy the Ports – Is this a Union, Now?

At first I thought the occupy movement was acting on inertia when it called to shut down the west coast ports. I don’t like the idea of going from one whim to the next and figured that’s what it was. Of course this makes me the ass for assuming I understood what this was about.

Well I finally got the illusive insight to the master deployment of valuable troops to the ports for closure. It is a support party for the dock workers union if Washington. So occupy is a socialistic movement. What does closing the ports supposed to be saying, exactly. I know some unions came out to support occupy, but does that mean we’re letting the democrats co-opt the movement. I think it lacks imagination, and if you want me to march on economic imbalances you’ve got to be serious about it. I never signed up for a red star and a uniform.

And I understand about the whole support factor that comes along with autonomy, but it’s just a lot to swallow. I mean it didn’t turn out so well for Russia. They’re still trying to peel of the Kremlin and look how sticky that is. China isn’t much better, and I bet if we did a “stress test” on democratic vs. Communistic capitalism, you’d find out horrible things about how societies vary.

For all I know this entire action may have been planted by intelligence agencies to sway the public about the dangers of this anti-Capitalist movement that threatens the very fibre of our good and just society. Once occupy closes the ports they become an economic threat significant enough to address.

One thing that must be considered is the value of the 99%. this cannot become clear to those who act as the 1%. the banks crashed on the economy and now the occupy movement sees only destruction. How does this tribe value the greater community, when it stands apart of the crowd and claims everyone. An action with the magnitude to change the entire economic field should be at least weighed by the community it effects. It’s a bit like a 45 year old man cutting down a 3 thousand year old redwood. Our actions can affect anything and not everyone wants to see the future from a doorway or a campsite.

There are solutions to create the dialog this society is so hungry for. It begins in every neighborhood with a few friends from the street and grows into an entire society able to define their environment to their liking, and you know what happens when you do that. Whatever we want to!
