"To help this movement win, we should ask why others lost. We should
ask, for instance, why Occupy, despite the energy and sacrifices of so
many, came to an end, while the institutions it confronted remain
intact. We should wonder why the global justice movement of the late
1990s and early 2000s, despite the numbers involved, their courage and
determination, has not changed the world. We should consider why
Podemos, the Spanish party that rose so high on the optimism of the
indignados movement, now seems to be spiralling into recriminatory
collapse."
Hear hear. Beautifully put.
