"Its up to those willing to fight to change the world for those who cannot."

Agreed. I don't think we're ever going to have a MASS movement, and social change does not actually happen by mass movements, generally. Usually, there is only a small percentage of the population that will rise up and take on the power structure, and that is usually about 2 percent.

In my daily life as an organizer I seek out the people who understand that social change is going to be a long, drawn-out and not particularly easy or fun kind of project, and try to create a strategy. When I think of folks who are bogged down and enslaved into whatever lifestyles they've created for themselves, I think of the mainstream US, so I'm not really interested the mainstream US when it comes to creating a movement. I don't know how to tell those people to drop everything, and there is no point in me trying.

What we need to do beyond actions- like what this tent city could be- is to get people looking long-term and build a culture of resistance along with radical organizations that are capable of sustaining that, since we need to constantly question the basic systems like capitalism that are destroying ourselves and the planet. Popular education is a start, which could very easily springboard out of the energy created by such mass political actions.
