@barefootrevolt @pummelopeel – anarchists were the main force creating the original #OWS and have been entirely nonviolent

@ProfSteveKeen – oh I don’t know. It’s okay. Attributes more importance to my role in OWS than I deserve. Yale part was annoying

@chrismealy – people say it, but no one contemplates the larger problem. Why did Jules Verne come true but ’60s and ’70s scifi didn’t?

@christietime – I’d say it’s absolutely crucial to the prefigurative nature of the protest

@chrismealy – I am curious, who has written an essay on that. I’m amazed how little ppl talk about inventions we were supposed to have had

@DougHenwood – the first part happens all the time in revolutionary situations. Problem is ensuring the prisons don’t _come back_

@brianarchist – can’t prove a negative but there’s much video of the whole day, no rocks, and if cops had images of it why keep them secret?

@OccupyAlabama – it’s been tried. Whipcream on the lens is very nonviolent but also effective.

@patrickejones – yes I’ve been working on it for 10 yrs apparently, esp clever of me since it was long before I thought of writing the book

@chegossett – yes but at certain points elements in the media break ranks, just as at certain points cops and troops refuse to fire
