Occupy Wallstreet – unter dem Motto hat es eine Initiative am Wochenende auf die Newsseiten gebracht. Spannend, dass sich langsam aber sicher weltweit die bewegte Mitte Gedanken über die Frage “Was kommt als nächstes” macht.
Das Programm der US-Initiative liest sich vertraut:
Through a direct democratic process, we have come together as individuals and crafted these principles of solidarity, which are points of unity that include but are not limited to:
- Engaging in direct and transparent participatory democracy;
- Exercising personal and collective responsibility;
- Recognizing individuals’ inherent privilege and the influence it has on all interactions;
- Empowering one another against all forms of oppression;
- Redefining how labor is valued;
- The sanctity of individual privacy;
- The belief that education is human right; and
- Endeavoring to practice and support wide application of open source.
We are daring to imagine a new socio-political and economic alternative that offers greater possibility of equality. We are consolidating the other proposed principles of solidarity, after which demands will follow.
Damit bewegt sich in den USA vergleichbares, wie in Israel, Spanien, Griechenland, Portugal und anderen Ländern. Allerdings haben noch nicht alle Bewegungen so hochkarätige Führsprecher.
