Occupy failed because the organizers were systematically jailed on the eve of the major protests, preventing them from coordinating and establishing goals like the ones you are looking for.
- pas 5y agoThey were out days later, no?
- maxfurman 5y agoExactly! They were pulled off the street hours before the major marches/protests/actions, and released the next day when it was too late to participate on the ground. So someone would post an event on Facebook, get 1000 people to show up at the Brooklyn Bridge or what have you, and then all 1000 of them would stand around saying "who's in charge here?" because the actual organizer was in police custody! Occupy was dismantled in the public eye very effectively using this tactic.
