[OccupySheffield] [Occupy London] Re: [INT] Fwd: [Squares] MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

[George Por]

Hmm... continuous strike? how will the 99% make a living without the

Call outs are easy; building an economic reality alternative to the dominant
system is challenging! Yet what is challenging appeals me more than what is
easy...
