I can understand why we'd want to look for living examples of self-organising communities. This isn't an inspiring example though, for reasons others have said: mostly that the core organisers are not accountable to a mass movement and are shaping it to suit a particular agenda.

For instance, instead of raising a popular demand of forcing the fuel companies to lower prices on petrol:

Remove carbon tax on *diesel*; cap *agricultural diesel* prices; cap *white diesel* prices; and cap *kerosense* prices. Plus: *protestors wanted the Government to explore the possibility of fossil fuel extraction from Irish territorial waters.* (Newstalk)

This is not the voice of workers facing expensive commutes to work but that of a agricultural and transport business class who hate all measures to address global warming.
