If there is one message coming out of the Occupy movements around the globe it is this – we are many, they are few. Their power is built on our labour. Without our work they are nothing. That points to a way forward. If we withdraw our labour the ruling class will often be forced to give us concessions. Of course the act of striking opens up a possibility of a new world – one of democracy in which production is organised to satisfy human need. A world without the one percent. That is worth occupying for.
