Occupy reflections on the class war and rebellion

A vital contribution to the literature of challenge and protest, and exposing the harshness and inhumanity of the system. It exposes the American social and cultural system. It also explains people's reactions to the war waged against them by the Democratic and Republican parties. It offers practical points for dealing with protests in a way that does not endanger the movement. Wake up and go out into the streets.. block bridges and close ports.. march in the wind, rain, and snow.. face tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, handcuffs, and prisons. The "Occupy" movement is sweeping the world, and its messages are spreading from street protests to opinion pages, to the highest seats of power in America. In this book, Noam Chomsky answers pressing questions through conversations and discussions with supporters of the movement: Why do people protest? How does 1% of citizens influence 99%? How can money be separated from power? What is the truth about democratic elections? And how is equality achieved?
