The Good, The Bad and The Wingnutty: #OccupySTL One Month On

The Good, The Bad and The Wingnutty: #OccupySTL One Month On

By Anti-State STL on 2011/11/09

The following is a personal account and analysis of the first month of OccupySTL. In hopes of depicting a more well-rounded picture of #OccupySTL, I’m going to try and quickly describe the last 2 or 3 weeks – warts and all. It seems initial excitement (and plain lack of time to describe more) might have […]

New Text in Response to Oakland Eviction

By Anti-State STL on 2011/10/28

Over the last few days the police have arrested hundreds across the country for the occupations. They have used tear gas and “less lethal” weapons against the people occupying what has been renamed “Oscar Grant Plaza” in Oakland, CA. They have put a two tour Iraq war veteran into serious condition. They used “flash bang” […]

Statement from #Occupy Boston

By Anti-State STL on 2011/10/11

For OccupySTL and others to consider. The following is an official statement put out by #OccupyBoston. It’s an amazing stance that blows the violence/non-violence debate out of the water and instead replaces it with tactical conversations, an affirmation that they will trust each other and (most of all) not succumb to outsiders’ attempts to define […]

By Anti-State STL on 2011/10/10

Our first official demand has been approved for publication. It’s not a whole lot, but it’s getting things going. It reads: We demand all charges brought against the occupation so far be dropped immediately. Public space should be public space 24 hours a day. Tonight’s General Assembly approved the following demand and hopefully the morning […]

Meet Me in Occupy#St.Louis

By Anti-State STL on 2011/10/09

This text was originally an e-mail sent Wednesday, October 5 by someone participating in OccupySTL, to a friend in Europe who posted in on libcom.org and now it’s coming back here. Oh, the internet! The statement’s a raw, guttural take on things and, when written, didn’t necessarily know it was gonna end up in the public eye. (The author has OK’ed us […]

Isn’t it Beautiful?

By Anti-State STL on 2011/10/09

The following is from a local blog analyzing Friday night’s march. I have been spending a large chunk of my already meager free time at Kiener plaza taking part in aspects of the occupystl demonstration. As still fairly new to St. Louis I have been trying to grasp the significance of what is occurring around me… particularly after last night’s spectacular […]
