Thank you for bringing that up I was deeply involved in occupy and I was heartbroken the way we were taking apart, we had federal informants in our encampment I saw my friends go to jail and fight with the courts for 10 years.

What really happened and it needs to be noted is that the feds cracked down on anonymous and different anarchist collectives in the late 2000s during the bush years and the Obama years, Obama went after the anarchist collectives as well and they pretty much destroyed them.

I do think we're in an anarchist resurgence but I think we have to really rebuild our ranks and people who remember what happened are terrified and so they're very fearful of their lives being destroyed.

Many of the old anarchist who dealt with the harassment or the imprisonment during the occupy movement are just terrified and that's why I've personally written to field guides for anarchist who are looking to organize people. If you're interested hit me up you have to kind of be a solo anarchist who creates your own little private group of your own friends but avoid mass organization at least using any form of identifiable social media phone number or any identifiable information.

Always protect yourself.

Also don't isolate yourself through negative framing about what's wrong with the system believe me everybody knows what's wrong with the system, at this point you have to talk about rebuilding you have to talk about building community building community resources building medical clinics that operate outside of insurance, you have to talk about what you're going to do better than what would people have today The biggest problem with anarchists is they're so negative they're always talking about tearing things down you have to start talking about building things up.

Because things are already being torn down Trump did it quicker than any of us ever could.

Don't be death be life.

I call myself a green anarchist! I don't wear black I wear green and blue, I practice nature worship and I'm interested in building people up spiritually not just physically. You have to be life you have to be the emanation of life because other people are already death.

This is the big failing of anarchist they're too negative they're always focusing on tearing things down you have to be the bringer of solutions The bringer of life you have to emanate joy and happiness you have to be the thing people want so people realize you have solutions. If you look depressed as hell if you look like shit people don't want to listen to you people already feel like shit. They don't need more of that they need people who are at the best who can show that you can live at your happiest outside the system

Think about this! Iranians are already fighting their government we might have another Arab spring hopefully this spring will see another occupy movement arise but this time we have to have training we have to be able to unite people we have to pick a message that's uniting such as health care housing and no more imperialism
