I would have to say I don't understand the St Paul's camp protesters. What does the movement seek to achieve, and how does it see camping in church grounds achieving it?
I read the Capitalism Is Crisis article. That argued, persuasively, that we've come to believe Capitalism can't be changed for something else; which it clearly can be. However it then seemed to argue that no one knew what yet, but it would definitely involve revolution (I don't understand how we can know the method until we know the goal).
I couldn't understand how we got from 'We need a serious intellectual exploration of hitherto unexplored economic options' to 'we should camp in St Paul's'. It may just be me, but I don't think any clearer in a tent.
