From Mass movements to Swarm movements
If you ask their assessment, many leftist strategists will say, “we
could build a party, but we need strong movements, and movements aren’t
doing well right now.”
However, movements are doing excellently, but they have simply changed
form. Instead of being a “mass” movement per se, we now have what we
could call swarm movements. Instead of having one big demonstration in
Washington, D.C. led by some lame big liberal coalition, we have a
thousand uncoordinated local efforts, often sparked by events in one
major city or location, but with imitations spreading everywhere as
similar events or conditions present themselves. Occupy is certainly not
what it used to be – as a centralized movement it is dead – but it has
left behind little cells of local activity all over the place, and its
politics have inspired many coalitions to arise after the fact.
