🇺🇸Occupy Wall Street: Surviving the Winter | Fault Lines
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- When Occupy Wall Street faced violent police crackdowns around the country, most people thought it had come to an end.
But the protesters had no intention of abandoning a movement that had already brought out thousands of Americans to demand attention to the country's economic inequalities. Hundreds of protests and actions have continued around the country.
"The economic, political and social conditions continue to deteriorate and as a human being - it doesn't matter where you're from or what your history is - you'll always revolt against that," says Amin Husain, an Occupy organiser.
Fault Lines looks at how Occupy Wall Street continued to build itself through the winter months by following key organisers through planning meetings, days of action and assemblies - and how the movement must battle political co-optation in a US election year.

Thank you Al Jazeera for reporting on occupy wall street and making these short documents that cover the occupy movement more broadly. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to everybody who fights back those world financial criminals!
Let´s join this movement!
Together, we are going to win!
Great job Al Jazeera, very inspiring
I don't think it's about success or failure, it's about doing what you think is right regardless of the outcome.
We'll see where this goes. One of the bedrocks of America is the respect for private property. The economy is doing better.
Offers continued hope for a future to be possible. Gratitude for the presenting depth and understanding of our collective spiritual dillema. Also hear Rev Phil Lawson & Rev Michael Ellick in my posted "Occupy Spirituality panel discussion"
TRUTH TO POWER -- THAT IS THE ONE REAL GOAL OF ANY SOCIAL MOVEMENT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
This made me feel inspired again, and that what's happening in Occupy Los Angeles & Venice are unique but across the Occupy about Co-option, Non-violence and finding Justice in a time where our only power was a ballot. We are the 99%!
pretty accurate.
well job to the reporter.
it depends, at it's high point, occupy has a lot of support.
What needs to happen is find a common ground
thanks for reporting on this
22:00 is foreshadowing where we are at today.
@AlJazeeraEnglish Thank you for devoting your time and effort about this very important movement, despite it being in its infancy.
great production, thanks
This movement has the potential to create the space to allow Obama to be the liberal that his candidacy suggested he was.
The New Deal was not signed into law because FDR wrote his name on a sheet of paper. It was because there was a social movement around this.
The same is true of all progressive change, it is driven by social movements first, politicians only secondarily.
I don't think he understands what impossible means
I couldn't agree more with you. It's amazing that we still can't even get it on our cable packages. It's even harder to believe our government actually bombed their studios a couple times. But they did, and its true. Crazy times I tell ya. Spring is here!
VOTE FOR THE SOCIALIST PARTY. !
Fault Lines on AJE is one of the best new programs. It is professional, exceptional and one of the best new programs of this era.
The North American "media" could learn something from this great show. In depth, great videography and a point of view other than that of corporate sponsors. Excellent!
Boots Riley from "The Coup" organising Occupy movements, legend!
>create an educated proper coverage of occupy
It's hard to form an educated proper covegate of something that itself isn't properly educated.
❤
Boots Riley is da man!
Just live within your means... stop blaming other for your own inabilities
Mulch Diggums corporate welfare, sub prime mortgages, and crony capitalism coupled with bailouts of the large at the sacrifice of the population is not about "own inabilities" but leavening many with high student debt unemployed, or highly unnder employed
Dyana Postelle if you get a degree in women's or black studies, you are going to have a hard time getting a Job
If it weren't for Aljazeera & a few other indepentent media outlets, we would be living in a completely corporatized media blackout! I believe Occupy will be like the civil rights movement (a long struggle) and will eventually bring about a society no longer based on the so called "free market" or capitalism but will shift to a much more just humanistic model.
You can't compare multiparty system to TWO Party System in USA. OWS could be a political party in any other country but not in USA because they wouldn't get corporate support. When you have 2 parties and it's made difficult for any other party to enter the politics, you have a system where richer get richer and poor get poorer.
Unfortunately you can't hurt their money.. They have more money than they could ever spend.. It's not about money it's about control...
OWS has evolved. It's called Take on Wall Street. A sign for the cynics on UA-cam, that this will not end. It changes with the times. Get with it and look at your position. Where do you stand in future history books? On the side that's hard or one that was easy but apathetic?
Most of them were probably thinking the same thing.
How long will your bubble last before it bursts?
well, yes that is one opinion
It seems like the Occupy movement is dying down. Their main power is awareness. Without anything new, the news (the main source of 'awareness' for the American people) will not cover it. I wonder what would happen, hypothetically, if the movement became violent. I wonder if their voice would be heard more then?
From the beginning of the OWS movement RT has covered a better picture than Aljezeer. In this video too I noticed some RT clips. Aljezeera is sporting the 1% class. I'm also wonder why after a long time Aljezeera published this footage.
The organizers wearing an arcteryx jacket. 800 dollar jacket. What a liberal you must be. Lol
Are you actually saying you would shoot somebody for blocking your way? lol That is just fucking crazy, what is wrong with you? So you care about the second amendment but not the first?
None of the substantive part of your comment actually contradicted anything I said.
And I find it amusing that you're trying to tell me what a liberal is when I make it my business to study this stuff in a serious way. But you just have a bunch of lame insults and capslock.
Your claims that he supported business deregulation (a liberal position), 'bs health care' (nothing to do with GWB, and also liberal), warmaking (also liberal), etc. all show that he was indeed liberal.
WOW take notes CNN!
Don't forget The Young Turks and Russia Today!
You don’t have a right to housing someone else is paying for.
THEMIGHTY
99% over 1
Ultimately they failed. Nothing of substance changed. You get breadcrumbs which is typical of most movements. Something to placate and once you have people distracted it's business as usual.
Capitalist private property is theft from the worker, the State it's evil ally. Smash both.
Hellfireupon it
jews asking the church? Go to a synagogue.
Corpratist got to go!
You Americans love your 2nd amendment so much, when are u actually going to use it?
We use it against a tyrannical government, not companies conducting business
@@nickmiller3251 These companies control the government and their business is tyranny.
bump … lol
The irony of atheists asking a church to use the space 😂
