    so much shit: OWS effectively gave a platform to creat the bernie sanders runs for president, cancelled millions of dollars in debts, fed thousands of people, reclaimed foreclosed homes for people to live in, liberated spaces in cities for people to be safe from everyday police harassment, forced changes in plans by power is thousands of way. pay more attention because those victories are rarely mentioned, let alone ever celebrated, in the capitalist media. but they are there. and it is a part of radical practice to celebrate them.

      Are we talking about decentralized movements? Because I find it difficult to believe they would care about Bernie sanders or managed millions of dollars without any oversight
