Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered
to a degree I sympathise with 'who cares', but as I posted earlier this is the future of what will happen to protests etc here if writers/thinkers/movers and shakers aren't kept under control or anonymous/non-celebrity.
Harris was as one of the organisers behind the first Occupy Wall Street street demo and was part of the meetings to set up a Park and inform the media they were doing so in a careful pre-arranged fashion - although one freelancer for the New York Times lost/non-renewed her contract there because she was seen as non-objective too pro-OWS.
Of course lots of ordinary people also started just coming in aswell and it had something of a life of its own. He for various reasons became something of an important figure as a spokesperson/writer for the 'radical' pro-resist the police eviction by force wing.
To such an extent that he appeared on platforms about the future
See here with Doug Henwood of Left Business Observer and others:
Very keen on exciting demos and exciting actions, he fell out with Henwood and others when the email came out about the $5000 speaking fee.
But LP and the New Inquiry haven't broken with him and he and they are all part of this burgeoning write and publish left-wing critique on why OWS went wrong/ tackle the spectacle better next time/ use the enemy's spectacle against itself crowd on the East Coast.
