Movements that may appear to us in retrospect as a unified set of events are, in fact, irregular and scattered. Only afterwards do we see the underlying common institutional causes and movement passions that mark these events so we can name them, as the abolitionist movement, for example, or the labor movement or the civil rights movement. I think Occupy is likely to unfold in a similar way.
Francis Fox Piven on why it’s mistaken to write Occupy’s obituary this first anniversary: the lesson of history is that movements for justice are irrepressible, she claims in a comment piece for the Guardian.
