I get your point, organizing will be the most difficult part. I think one act of violence by the police against protesters may spark a revolt. I know many people in this thread are just waiting for a SHTF situation to get out there.
But yes, your point is very valid, organizing will be the most difficult part. In the mean time we can continue to educate each other on the issues, brainstorm, and prepare mentally. I think that's all we can do for now.

If you think orgnizing will be the most difficult part, then you obviously aren't ready for any revolution, or haven't thought about for any extended period of time.
The conflict doesn't even begin until the organization ends.

The world has been corrupt ever since intelligent man populated this tiny planet in the middle of a vast who-know-what-is-going-on universe. Corruption, greed, and self interest are at the heart of many individuals. Given the chance, most will seek gains at the losses of countless others...it is human nature. I am not saying it is good or correct, but human. We are greedy. If we were in the position of power and could call the shots, we would swing things in our own favor most certainly. Most of us, that is.
So how do we gather those that will fight for justice and the sake of humanity in a world so divided...divided by religion, politics, law, money and the likes...how do we make a shift for the better to claw our way out of this hole we've dug ourselves into. We are all humans in the end. Black, white, yellow, brown. It makes no difference, we need to unite and stand up to the corrupt state of affairs this world has become.
The question remains: how do we do it?

It is just so frustrating when you try to get people to wake up and understand and instead you get pummelled and treated like a crazy person. Even in my own family, they make fun and brand me the crazy one. I am at a loss as to how to make a difference.

I believe the OWS is organized by the elite as a counter-attack to the Tea Party. The Tea Party allowed the Republicans to take them over and now the OWS movement is being co-opted by the Democrats. The Tea Party was a start that I immediately joined hoping that would make a difference, but the MSM immediately began to tear it down and the Republicans took it over for their own selfish agenda. I was blown away by the activities in Wisconsin when the Democrats walked out and went to Illinois. The system completely broke down at that point and now it just feels hopeless. Even if the people can shift the paradigm in a small way, the other side just shifts it back the way they want it. There are only two sides to every issue. And they are both corrupt. And We the People just continue to get played.

gotta love them armchair activists. None of them have the balls. they talk and talk and talk but never do anything. Maybe that's who the elites wanna get rid of, these stupid slothful people? That would leave about half a billion responsible adults leftover.
I've been in the thick of it since oct 4th fighting this ows movement and trying to get a real revolution OF THE PEOPLE happening and all these armchair bandits, and weekend 1%er facilitators (usually polisci students), are certainly the frickin problem. some people just won't get it through their thick skulls that action is required, or y'all may as well get on your knees for the system right now.
