a corner has been turned{20}
well dear reader, it has come to this. many people over a long time, have discussed a revolution “of and by” the people, take for example the tremendously prophetic “vendetta” graphic novel and marvellous english film, and even michel moore in capitalism a love story. so nowadays in an even more visual and internet obsessed age, it’s perfectly understandable for anonymous to grab that imagery and belief as their own.
occupy has well and truly taken off in new york and now around the world. hold on tight and please consider this remarkable speech, as given by charles chaplin, which has been given a modern upgrade on youtube .. very powerful stuff.

Wow, it’s weird you should mention that! Haha.. Occupy Long Beach just started on the 15th, and that’s where I’m from! I should write an article on my blog about it, now that I think of it.

sadly the only thing I’ve been able to occupy lately was a bathroom. it was a good movement though.

It’s incredible that an 80 year old speech written in condemnation of Nazi Germany could have such relevance today. Thanks for posting!

I agree with Kara. When my hubby showed me this video the other day I was shocked at the relevance today of something filmed 80 years ago.
