Tariq Ali speaks at Occupy Oakland 10/29/11 http://vimeo.com/31383534 "Why are people occupying public spaces in ninety different countries of the world? Ninety! They are occupying them because they don't trust the politicians. They are occupying them because regardless of who is elected, whether they are from the center left or the center right, they do exactly the same things. These are politicians in the pay of big capital. These are politicians who essentially do the bidding of the rich. That is why people are out on the streets. That is why people are occupying." "There is no shortage of wealth in this world. It is that a tiny majority of people monopolize it, and when their grip on that wealth is challenged, they shout abuse. They send out the cops. Their mayors and politicians say, 'Go and clear the squares. Empty the streets of these dissenters. We don't want to see them. They don't represent us.' That's what they say, and they are wrong. Because what you speak for is the silent majority, and this is how movements begin from the bottom up."
