Leeds in Crisis event - 'What if there was a new movement and we weren't invited
Mae Bee | 07.02.2011 09:23 | Public sector cuts | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield
What has changed over the last 3 months, and
why? Is what we’ve done in the past still useful today? And what
can be done now that couldn’t have been done last year?

An explosion of occupations against education cuts… A growing
anger about austerity… The toppling of governments…
From Millbank to Cairo, the world is changing fast. Yet many of
the strategies, tactics, and methods of organisation of the last
decade were developed under very diff erent conditions. It’s time
for a critical refl ection on what can be achieved, and who we can
imagine doing it.

Those of us who've been resisting in different conditions for a long time certainly have to take account of new realities and learn new lessons. But we also have stuff to offer.
This seems like the early 90s all over again. New issues, new people, new ideas, new problems new methods of resistance. There was a brief period when people thought it was ALL new and nobody had ever done anything like this before (SchNews said it, then quickly realised they weren't quite right). The new and the old stagers converged and shared inspiration, experience and mutual encitement.
Bring it on again. We need it now as never before.

would like to further add to the comment above. we should be very careful about too much "newness" the Climate Movement a couple of years back was totally obsessed with its "newness" leading to a what a times felt like going over the same ground by not learning from our history.
That said this looks like a cracking discussion.
Wish I lived i Leeds.
