OccupySF: Locke vs. Marx
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:08:57 AM »

It didn’t take more than a few nights at OccupySF to realize that the core group of Occupiers were deeply committed young socialists, communists and social anarchsts, even more so at Occupy Oakland. In fact the magazine that started this whole Occupy Movement, AdBusters, is arguably an anarcho-communist rag. Now, I have a lot of love for that crowd because to some degree this is my background and I understand that they are coming from a well meaning place. Dyed hair, dreadlocks, facial piercings and tattoos are all common. We used to call it “gutter punk.” I’m not sure if that’s a pejorative term now. If so I apologize. I certainly don’t mean it that way. They are homeless young adults who are voluntarily unemployed as an act of rebellion against capitalism.

One night I stayed up until dawn talking with a young Marxist. We distilled all our political and economic disagreements down to one philosophical split that we couldn’t resolve. I believe in property and he doesn’t.
