#OccupyLSX Callout – Let’s do this!

@OccupyLSX | 12.10.2011 16:48 | Occupy Everywhere | Public sector cuts | Social Struggles | World

Occupy the London Stock Exchange
15th October
12pm
St Paul’s Cathedral



The words ‘corporate greed’ ring through the speeches and banners of protests across the globe. After huge bail-outs and in the face of unemployment, privatisation and austerity we still see profits for the rich on the increase. But we are the 99%, and on October 15th our voice unites across gender and race, across borders and continents as we call for equality and justice for all.

In London we will occupy the stock exchange. Reclaiming space in the face of the financial system and using it to voice ideas for how we can work towards a better future. A future free from austerity, growing inequality, unemployment, tax injustice and a political elite who ignores its citizens, and work towards concrete demands to be met.

Assemble in front of St Pauls Cathedral at Midday – please try to be on time and not early or late. When you are there be ready and attentive. Make sure to follow @OccupyLSX on twitter for updates on the day.

Try to come with a friend or group of friends. If you are thinking of staying for a while bring plenty of food and water, wrap up warm and you may want to bring tents and a sleeping bag.

Bring your energy and excitement, and be ready to create a better world!

"Corporate Greed" is not the problem. That makes it sound like the Corporations are "deciding" to be "greedy", and if they decided to be "less greedy" that would solve it.

Capitalism is the problem. The motivations, desires or "greed" of corporations, CEOs etc DON'T MATTER as long as they are part of a STRUCTURE, a SYSTEM that prioritises profit.

The structure is the problem - the system - not the particular people in it.

Er, no, we aint 'the 99%', what simplistic bollocks. What about the middle classes that keep the rest of us down? It's true that more and more people are gonna be hit by the crisis, but do you really think they want to be part of the world we envisage? Do you think that they wont go without a fight? If there were just a greedy evil 1% out there, orchestrating everything while everyone else has been powerlessly complying, wouldn't we have overthrown capitalism some time ago - or have we just not camped out in enough public squares? No, it's not a tactical failing on our part. Power holders always consolidate power by extending privileges to an elite to keep the rest of us down. That elite is the middle class.
Seriously, does anyone actually believe this phony narrative? The system really ain't gonna come crumbling down simply by convincing enough people to buy into your rhetoric. The scale of action cannot compensate for the shallowness of critique.
