Joe Macare of Truthout:
“2011 should be known as the year that dissent came back with a vengeance to the USA. The Occupy movement has been the culmination of a year of protest in a country that has not often been comfortable with mass political action…. 2011 has fundamentally changed the terms of the debate: that it’s the 99% who will define what change we want, what our world will look like and how to get there.”
