"[They are saying] we are all losers, but the true losers are down there on Wall Street. They were bailed out by billions of our money. We are called socialists, but here there is already socialism — for the rich. They say we don’t respect private property. But in the 2008 financial crash-down more hard-earned private property was destroyed than if all of us here were to be destroying it night and day for weeks. They tell you we are dreamers; the true dreamers are those who think things can go on indefinitely the way they are. We are not dreamers; we are the awakening from the dream that is turning into a nightmare. We are not destroying anything; we are only witnessing how the system is destroying itself. We all know [inaudible] from cartoons. The cat reaches a precipice, but it goes on walking, ignoring the fact that there is nothing beneath its ground. Only when it looks down and notices it he falls down. This is what we are doing here. We are telling the guys there on Wall Street, ‘Hey! Look down!’( K8 z7 N- `! [

This is a good sign for China; it means people still dream about alternatives, so attacked and prohibited is dreaming.Here we don’t think of prohibition because [inaudible -- "history"?]has even oppressed our capacity to dream. Look at the movies that we see all the time. It’s easy to imagine the end of the world — an asteroid destroying all of life, and so on — but we cannot imagine the end of capitalism. So what are we doing here? Let me tell you a wonderful old joke from Communist times. A guy was sent to work in East Germany from Siberia. He knew his mail would be read by censors, so he told his friends, ‘Let’s establish a code.If a letter you get from me is written in blue ink, it is true what I say; if it is written in red ink, it is false.’ After a month, his friends get a first letter. Everything is in blue. It says, this letter: ‘Everything is wonderful here. The stores are full of good food, movie theatres show good films from the West, apartments are large and luxurious. The only thing you cannot find is red ink.’ This is how we live. We have all the freedoms we want, but what we are missing is red ink: the language to articulate our non-freedom. The way we are taught to speak about freedom, ‘war on terror,’ and so on, falsifies freedom.And this is what you are doing here: You are giving all of us red ink. , w% a$ `8 y; s, R% e9 _" {) C5.39.217.76tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb/ c- X2 i# e& r7 T4 U' w, B

What matters is the day after when we will have to return to normal life. Will there be any changes then? I don’t want you to remember these days, you know, like,‘Oh, we were young, it was beautiful…’ Remember that our basic message is, ‘We are allowed to think about alternatives.’ A taboo is broken. We do not live in the best possible world. But there is a long road ahead. There are truly difficult questions that confront us. We know what we do not want, but what do we want? What social organization can replace capitalism? What type of new leaders do we want? Remember: The problem is not corruption or greed; the problem is the system which pushes you to be corrupt. Beware not only of the enemies, but also of false friends who are already working to dilute this process in the same way you get coffee without caffeine, beer without alcohol,ice cream without fat. They will try to make this into a harmless moral protest, a decaffeinated protest.

“We are not Communists, if Communism means the system which collapsed in 1990. Remember that today those Communists are the most efficient, ruthless capitalists. In China today we have a capitalism which is even more dynamic than your American capitalism but doesn’t need democracy, which means, when you criticism capitalism, don’t allow yourselves to be blackmailed that you are ‘against democracy.’ The marriage between democracy and capitalism is over.

“Now, what we consider today possible — just follow the media. On the one hand is technology and sexuality — everything seems to be possible. You can travel to the moon, you can become immortal by biogenetics,you can have sex with animals or whatever. But look at the field of society and economy — there, almost everything is considered impossible. You want to raise taxes a little bit for the rich, they tell you it’s impossible. We lose competitivity. You want more money for healthcare, they tell you, ‘Impossible!This means a totalitarian state.’ Is there something wrong with the world where you are promised to be immortal but they cannot spend a little more for healthcare? Maybe we have to set our priorities straight. We don’t want higher standards of living; we want better standards of living. The only sense in which we are Communists is that we care for the commons: the commons of nature,the commons of what is privatized by intellectual property, the commons of biogenetics. For this, and only for this, we should fight. Communism failed absolutely, but the problems of the commons are here. They are telling you we are not American here, but the conservative fundamentalists who claim they are‘really’ Americans have to be reminded of something: What is Christianity? It’s the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? It’s an egalitarian community of believers who are linked by love for each other and who only have their own freedom and responsibility to do it. In this sense the Holy Spirit is here now,and down there on Wall Street there are millions [?] who are worshiping blasphemous idols. So all we need is patience.* R/ ~9 d. Y. @4 E: m; {0 v

R; O5.39.217.76佔領華爾街行動面臨主流媒體、傳統左派的批評,是缺乏具體目標與訴求。然這模糊與曖昧性正是抗議青年一開始所要的。最早發起這個運動的雜誌Adbuster就說,「在運動成氣候前,提出具體目標是沒意義的。所以,開始的目標就是占領本身|占領意味著直接民主,而直接民主有可能產生特定目標,也可能不。那些主流媒體不停地問什麼是目標,他們錯了。」意思是,抗議青年們意欲透過「佔領」本身形成對體制反思的運動,在佔領過程中,以直接民主的方式去討論問題、目標與策略。而這個過程就是一種民主實踐。 0 `9 \# X. e g* Z2 h5.39.217.76tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb2 `& G9 ?5 N$ B/ Y n; L1 G
然而,這群青年安那其並非沒有目標,他們要傳遞的訊息其實非常清楚:是美國資本主義和民主的失靈,一如主要口號:「我們是社會上百分之九十九的大眾,而我們無法繼續容忍金字塔頂端百分之一富人的貪婪與腐敗。」 $ N: _5 |- s$ D( h" S6 J8 aTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。, d/ u2 B1 w" b8 ~1 E
諾貝爾獎經濟學得主Joseph Stliglitz在佔領華爾街的現場就說:「金融市場本該配置資本並管理風險,但現在他們卻錯置資本,引發風險,這是一個將利潤私有化,將利潤私有化的體系。這是種扭曲變形的經濟,我們如果繼續與這種體系共存,就不會有經濟增長,也無法創造公平正義的社會。」再者,美國的貧富不均日益嚴重。最富有的百分之一握有全國百分之四十的財富;相對的,中產階級在過去二十五年的收入卻縮水了。 2 b z3 H. r9 z/ D8 Q. a5 z: ? r 0 F5 }$ l( K! s8 Z4 A# U5 _TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。扭曲的經濟體系與不公平的社會分配的另一面,是美國民主早已淪為金權民主,金錢力量深深操縱政治過程與政策制定,這個民主體制無法回應百分之九十九人民的真正需求。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb4 ^% y* ?* Z) X. i5 U

所以,佔領華爾街的青年有不滿的方向與目標,只是缺乏改革的具體政策。但這是無可避免的,因他們不滿的是民主體制和資本主義的根本問題。一如一九六八年法國街頭的反叛青年,或一九九九年西雅圖街頭的反全球化青年,對整個體制不滿,並且未必有具體的改革方案;但追求的是去「想像另一種可能」,並且要透過廣場進行直接民主的討論,去落實這種想像力,去慢慢形成新的共識。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。7 O: n l) f6 ^: g0 n. T
