Instead of an #OWS poster today, we have this teach-in by Jason Read. It's very well-done: it affirms the inspirational affect of the event, and it is concise in its analysis without over-simplification. Among the themes:
- Socialization of risk, privatization of profit (“We won’t pay for your crisis”);
- Our subjectification as self-entrepreneurs and the resultant debt;
- Financialization of the economy (from the entrepreneurial M - C - M' to the speculative M – M’);
- Commodification of social life (Facebook, Google; “we occupy Wall Street because Wall Street has occupied every corner of our lives”).
Please send links to more teach-ins. Feminist Philosophers has the one by Zizek.
