			<description><![CDATA[ All I can say is you have a bad memory. All REAL analysis (i.e. polls) show it trending upwards - as opposed to the Tea Party which is trending DOWNWARDS. The easiest way to see how it is play is how do the politicians respond. Oakland wanted to duke it out. When they discovered that it looked pretty bad on the news, they went with "we want to guarantee their rights". The 60's did not have anyone you could have called a leader. There were MULTIPLE people all with differing agendas. I know, because my family was in the midst of it and my father was looked up as one of these "leaders", by some. Physics has nothing to do with what is or is not a movement. This is a movement. Banks are changing attitudes. They're scared. Politicians are changing attitudes. They're scared. To argue that this is not a movement is to be blind to what is happening around you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[From my perspective their comments were precise and accurately describe my own feelings re: OWS. One thought for those concerned about a lack of leadership. There is leadership at OWS. The difference is that rather than the "power over" model, it is "power within" where leaders arise naturally, then fade back into the group. "Power over" is simpler, but "power within" is both more egalitarian and more satisfying. Plus since the goal is consensus, there is greater buy-in.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The No-Nukes movement of the late 70's and early 80's which peeked with a million person protest march on June 12, 1980 in Central Park, NY, utilized an affinity group structure of organizing and consensus decision making. It was only when the organizing committee overruled the wishes of the affinity groups and negotiated a protest at the Seabrooke Power Plant-- rather than carry out non-violent direct action, as the groups wished-- that the movement became disillusioned. The message here is that activists are participating more and are less willing to follow blindly. The nature of leadership in left-wing populist activism has changed since the 1960's; it is less hierarchical, and more democratic-- or it is unsuccessful. Many of the people in the OWS movement are very experienced and have knowledge of this form of organizing. Though there are a number of people who have joined in who don't have this background or knowledge of history, OWS has done a remarkable job of keeping everyone both non-violent and participating. I think it is remarkable. Could it fade out? Yes. But it is also possible that it might succeed in transforming society. As Michael Albert suggests, if the movement achieves even larger numbers and then begins maintaining it within local communities, then it becomes a political force for deciding our way of life.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While I agree with the intellectual analysis of "Innocent Victim," I feel that the argument over semantics is an irrelevancy. We have "something" here that is striking a chord with people across the country. That "something" is providing us with a palpable example of an alternative to what we call "politics." Politics is supposed to reflect the will of the "polis," the people. It doesn't. It reflects the will of the oligarchy -- the rich and the corporations. It presents a choice for those of us who are neither oligarchs nor occupiers: which one will allow us to have a voice? It's obvious: only the occupiers will.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is not an appropriate venue for pedantic sophistry. A leaderless movement demanding a moral change avoids setting up a straw man leader for attack or a protracted niggling discussion of details on specific reforms. Besides, apart from being enforced with a moral sense of justice and ethics, we already had all the laws we need. We only need to eradicate newer laws on corporate personhood and radically and punitively reform campaign finance with a view towards eliminating the 2 party system and its corporate ownership.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I disagree with Amy and Chris. I think this is not a "movement", because a movement has momentum. To use an analogy from physics, there must be an average velocity for all of the particles (people); if the average velocity is zero, the average momentum is zero: it's just random motion, heat! Winter will come and the heat will lose energy to the surroundings. There are disadvantages to leadership, but it is essential for a movement. The authorities will see that for all the heat, there is no movement. The authorities, if smart, will let the heat evolve. This is far different from the populism of the late 19th century, the New Deal moved by the Communist and socialist threats, the civil rights and anti-Vietnam MOVEMENTS of the sixties and seventies. They all had leadership and a non-zero "average velocity". They achieved something, at least for a while.]]></description>
