Occupy Black Friday

Mic check! Happy holidays! During this season our wallets are lighter. Many are working as hard as ever. Our leaders are not listening to us. Our democracy has been broken. Please consider how much you spend into corrupting democracy. Together we are unstoppable. A better world is possible. Mic Off

My name is Douglas Rushkoff. I am humbled and honored to be amplified by your voices.

You are not fighting against people, but against a machine. It was put in place over 500 years ago. By a wealthy elite - trying to repress a booming peer to peer economy. Those people are all dead, but their program lives on. They invented an operating system called central currency. People who used to trade directly, were now forced to borrow money from the king's bank. At interest.

The elite also invented software for that operating system. It was called the chartered monopoly. Today we call it the corporation. It is a program designed to extract value. It has legal monopoly over its industries. We are legally prohibited from creating and exchanging value unless we do it through the corporation. We cannot work unless we have a "job."

We outsource our work, we outsource our savings, we outsource our borrowing, we outsource our investing - all instead of sourcing one another.

This 13th Century, printing-press era operating system is incompatible with a 21st Century economy.

It is broken and dying. But it is still occupying our reality. Too many are mistaking this operating system - for the way things are. They see the Occupy Movement as the impediment. No. We are not asking for wealth to be redistributed. We are asking for the redistribution to STOP. The Long Extraction is Over.

The peer to peer society is back. We are ready to create and exchange value as people.

They say that the Occupy Movement has no leadership. They are wrong.

You are the leaders The rest of us are your followers.

What you do here - shows what we can do out there. You are the classroom - we are the students You are the experiment - we are the results. You are the proposition - we are the resolution.

If you can sleep under tarps, The rest of us can tell your story to our children at bedtime

If you can resist the cops The rest of us can resist the market and the mall

If you can live on shared food The rest of us can buy and grow local crops

If you can live with no money The rest of us can start using alternative currencies

If you can stand firm in the streets The rest of us can stand firm in our foreclosed homes and stand with our neighbors in theirs.

If you can occupy Zucotti Park The rest of us can occupy reality.

And by that same logic: As the nights get colder, as the Mayor grows less tolerant, or as the police get more violent,

Remember that you have already won. Whatever happens in this square, the day you leave is not the day you have lost it is not the day you have surrendered.

It is the day you have spread out. It is the day you have declared a bigger battlefield. It is the day you teachers and we students become the same.

It is the day we Occupy the World.

V for Voccupy

[Wall Street] is a symbol, as is the act of [Occupying] it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, [Occupying Wall Street] can change the world.  -V for Val
