日本にも飛び火したオキュパイ運動は
現在の民主主義活動の中で一番可能性を感じます。
多様性、分散型、直接民主主義と言う要素は
とっても現代社会の権力者に立ち向かう為に
必要な形だと思います。
メディアでは把握しにくい運動ですが、
内容はとっても確りしている物です。
下の映像だけでも見てください。
My permaculture has gone offline. Lo siento. I've been focusing permaculture energy on workshops but I have a backlog of stuff, mainly pictures from Bullocks and City Repair, and some social permaculture ideas. I'll make sure to do it at some point.
In the mean time, lets take a break from nukes and explore my other fascination, the occupy movement. I mainly wanted to share a youtube and a poster that I enjoyed.
1. Occupy Wall Street Consensus video
I've been showing this at my urban permaculture weekend workshops. Maybe as subtle brainwashing: don't be so obedient and occupy something! The official reason I show the clip though, is because I believe the ability to effectively facilitate groups of people is essential to get things done well. Especially when we are talking about community.
In my experience, good facilitation produces amazing results. Poor facilitation produces immediate disasters or future time bombs. Most people and organisations I've engaged with do not seem to know the art of facilitation. Why would they? Authority figures making decisions is our dominant cultural paradigm. We are also used to two sided arguments, left/right, liberal/conservative, America/unAmerica, Demoblicans/Republicrats, good/bad etc. These two cultural practices help those in power keep their power, and make it difficult for communities to organise and become autonomous.

I could go on and on as facilitation has done wonders for me, but I'll just get to the video.
More on facilitation to come.
*the video is in English with Japanese subtitles.
オキュパイ運動で行われているコンセンサスと
ファシリテーションのプロセス。
本当にすごいです。
場所と人さえいれば似た様なワークショップを
行いたいと思っています。
因にコンセンサスの語源は一緒に感じる
という意味をルーツとしています。
