Indignados: "A methodological revolution" - interview in Brussels

Good work!

Hey, vamospudiendo (Miguel, right?), thanks for sharing, and welcome!

I browsed through your thesis and read the parts on organization (p. 37 and following) and objectives (p. 55 and following). It seems really good, careful work. And in English! Thanks a lot.

It is indeed interesting, and it clarifies some questions that I had in mind. My thoughts:

  • results seem to be there - in this it seems I have been wrong. They are non-systemic, but very concrete (like a certain number of evictions avoided.
  • the way to organize does not appeal to me a bit. Assemblies are awful technologies for coordinating: very inefficient (as people have to take turns for speaking), non-scalable and troll-friendly, in that they give disproportionate veto power to noncooperative individuals. Also, it is a bit sad to see young kids adopting 1970s decision making processes associated to movements that famously failed to affect change! Come on guys, you can do better than that. The German Pirate Party approach, or that described here on Egderyders by Smari for the case of Iceland, seem to hold much more promise.
