Before I post this, let me say that the Electrical Engineers Union people that I met in Istanbul were wonderful radicals:
Behind all of this uprising in Turkey is Taksim Solidarity and one major component of it is the Union of Chambers of Architects and Engineers of Turkey. Another is the Union of Medical Doctors. This may look like a spontaneous event, but those handful of us who have not left the barricades played a major role in keeping the flame alive. One nice thing is that none of the socialists tried to take ownership of what has been going on. We have never claimed that, hey, we started this. The government is looking for a culprit, but they cannot find any. They are confused. This is why I like leaderless uprisings, up to a point. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 530 898 5321 fax 530 898 5901 http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com
