And already they are calling for general strikes, one on Nov. 2nd and another on May 15 of next year.

The camps and tents will become city fixtures, yes. People will get used to them, yes. The first call of a general strike may be a failure, yes.

But this is not an organized movement. It is a living and breathing manifestation of everyone that has been left in the dust. The crowds will grow and the ideas will continue to flow.

This is what a real movement looks like. It's both social and political. It's not a, "Hey, everyone meet here for an hour or two, then go home." It's much more than that. And I see it. I don't know why others struggle to do the same. This is an awakening.
