The former Deutsche Bank building in London plays host to this week's discussion, which sees Julian discuss the origins, targets, and future of the Occupy movement with five high profile activists. The roots of the movement lie in the growing outrage many felt in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis.
However, according to Alexa O'Brien from Occupy New York and US Day of Rage, they are also responding to a "Global Political Crisis, because our institutions no longer function." Aaron Peters from Occupy London agrees that political failure is a "global phenomenon", with power shifting to unaccountable non-democratic institutions. However, the last word goes to David Graeber from Occupy New York, who jokes "there's nothing that terrifies the American government so much as the threat of democracy breaking out in America."

David Graeber worth watching anywhere.

the main reason they need to occupy real space instead of viral space was because they would have been utterly ignored if they did not occupy real space. even them media coverage was minimal because it is too corporate government controlled and the message was skewed even though they had to cover a real vs viral demonstration. i was pro occupy of course but where is our universal health coverage, why havent the wars ended and nothing has changed.

[@jacpratt8608]

why do you think?☺
