Tomorrow October 15, 2011 is a day of coordinated international protests. These are based on the North African and Spaniard movements before them, aslo augmented by the recent Occupy Wall St, and its nation wide effect. Whatever the ultimate outcome of all these movements and protests, one aspect is very certain, and that's the Situationist roots the influence of the journal Ad Buster, "Cultural Jamming" and the Situationist school of thought, on the October 15 Protests, OWS,.. You be the judge.
Below is "the" Situationist text of all times:

متن سخنرانی فریبرز رییس دانا در میزگرد تحلیل اجتماعی- اقتصادی جنبش اشغال وال استریت
دانشکده علوم اجتماعی دانشگاه تهران
هفتم آذر ۱۳۹۰
===================================
بر روی یکی از پلاکاردهای معترضان وال استریت نوشته شده بود:
جهان به اندازه نیاز هر کس دارد، به اندازه حرص هر کس ندارد
در همه جای امریکا، شرکت کنندگان در جنبش وال استریت، اندیشه
مند، آگاه و هوشیارند؛ گرچه به طور متوسط، از متوسط جامعه کم درآمدتر اند،
اما از متوسط جامعه، درد آشناتر و هدفمندتر اند. آنها نه جامعه ای خیالی را
در سر می پرورند و نه در نوستالوژی بازگشت به گذشته اند. آنها نقطه ی
مقابل تی پارتی محافظه کار اند، زیرا به آینده ای شدنی، بهتر و مطمئن تر می
اندیشند. ایدئولوژی برای آنان، نظریه را نمی سازد و نظریه، زندگی را فدا
نمی کند. بر عکس، آنها به زندگی شادکامانه، مردمی و آزاد می اندیشند و از
آنجا نظریه می گیرند و از آن نظریه هاست که می روند تا به ایدئولوژی مقاومت
و مبارزه، دست یابند.

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
Sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people are gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Talking about a revolution

I started looking at their banners and this lady who was standing close to me and was taking pictures of protesters, asked me to join them. It turns out that she was from Lawyers Guild and was documenting with pictures, etc, I guess if police brutality happened. Some buildings had their doors closed and the security guard at front let people in.

Celtic Tiger//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO8OckwyJwE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy
So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy
Now they saw the Celtic Tiger in my home town
Brings jewels and crowns, picks you up off the ground
But the Celtic Tiger does two things
It brings you good luck or it eats you up for its supper
It’s the tale of the two cities on the shamrock shore
Please Sir can I have some more
Cos if you are poor you’ll be eaten for sure
And that’s how I know the poor have more taste than the rich
And that’s how I know the poor have more taste than the rich
Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more
Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more, more, more
The fastest growing inflation rate in the world,
the cost of a run down house is absurd
This isn’t any age for a low income wage
Ask anyone who’s locked in a cage
A couple with kids can’t afford a place to live
Even if they have a good job
We’re bring robbed by the builders and the fat cat government
A league of greed and they don’t even need for a thing
It’s a sin
But it’s the nature of the beast
You’d better go and find a priest and confess
Because your greed is gonna leave you soulless
Where we gonna live, what we gonna do
We’ll have to move in with the woman in the shoe
They’re driving us onto the streets
While the fat cat in government cheats, and always
gets away with his crime
A kid steals a jacket and does time
Just look at the world around you
Tell me why is there so much need?
Because of greed
So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy
-------------------------------------------------------
Just look at the world around you
Tell me why is there so much need?
Because of greed
This is just the start
by divaneh on Sun Oct 16, 2011 05:35 PM PDTThis movement will go much further. This was inevitable and is the second shock to the system after the London riots. Inequality has been increasing all over the world as the result of the rule of capital. Berlin wall has come down and the unchained capitalism shows its real face. This movement may not gain substantial changes but I think it will be successful in placing more control over the capital.
One interesting point that I learnt recently is that the banks were forced to separate their investment arms from their retail arms in the early 20th century after a similar crash. I suppose it is not only Iranians who are poor learners.

Movements with a Difference
by Hooshang Tarreh-Gol on Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:33 AM PDTRG jaan thanks for your kind comments. I think one essential aspect of this movement that we on Iranian Left might not be used to, and have a tendency to overlook is its Anti-Authoritarian, Horizontal, Leaderlessness (in the sense that everyone is a leader) quality.
These politically healthy aspects are indeed what has been missing from our social, political discourse for the past three decades in Iran, and what we need to study, observe and learn from.
