Opinion: Protests are everywhere. The world is rising up. So can humanity

Activists learned a tremendous amount from successes and failures of the previous cycle of protest movements. As did governments

Protest is Broken.

I think the standard forms of protest have become part of the standard pattern. It’s like they are expected. And the key is to constantly innovate the way we protest because otherwise it is as if protest is part of the script. (via Protest is Broken. — Micah White, PhD)

Please vote. Please run.

“Future movements will re-conceive activism in time scales of centuries, not seconds, by focusing their meme warfare on provoking epiphanies in people who are not yet born. From the perspective of a long-term vision, today’s protests aren’t failing: our protests are setting in motion a victorious process that will take generations to unfold. Activists of the future will privilege tactics designed to impact the world a hundred years after their death."

Micah White, founder of Occupy Wall Street

As a general rule, before you protest, ask yourself why this is one of your chosen forms of action. Question your tactics, not your motives. In this case, the obvious first question for any activist ought to be: why deploy a communal march in the streets as a form of protest?

The big takeover: Why the left must capture power, not just protest it.

Occupy Wall Street co-founder Micah White explains why political power will not be captured in street protests, but in the synthesis of social movements with political parties, and how the left must ditch palliative progressivism and re-engage with the mechanisms of power on the local level if it hopes to become a revolutionary force. Micah wrote the essay Two Paths Forward at his website, and the op-ed Protests won't stop Trump. We need a movement that transforms into a party for the Guardian.
