"Democracy," Occupy Style: Dissent Is Crushed In Favor of "Consensus"
— Ace

You have an absolute right to free speech, as long as your speech is approved by the dominant faction.

A couple of people at Occupy LA wanted to make the point that the movement was being controlled by "communists and leftists."

To disprove his claim, a group of communists and leftists kept him from speaking, and then went back to controlling the movement.

15 When your whole movement is about moving into where you don't belong and deliberately obstructing, or shouting down with mobs, or 'direct action,' or sit-ins, or fighting with the cops, or taking over other people's stores or banks or ceremonies all so you can make whatever inane point you have because you're all 'me, me, me!', I don't think you're near as democratic as you like to think you are.

Ain't been around today, so maybe this has been posted already:

Welcome to the Los Angeles Police Department of 2011, where Chief Charlie Beck takes pride in having allowed such disorder to take place. And he apparently is prepared to let it continue through the coming year. “This is not a riot, one-time event,” Beck told the LA Weekly. “This is a sustained movement, in my opinion, that we’re gonna have to deal with maybe for all of 2012.”

29 They (communists) ALL have the impulse to silence voices they don't like.

I had a roommate in college who was pretty far out there on the social deviancy spectrum, and he found kindred spirits in the commies.  Needless to say, he and I gravitated apart.

Dude claimed to be bisexual, married a chick that claimed to be bisexual, and then they billed it a gay wedding.  He, at least, was a tranny for a while to shock people on campus.  Yeah, like I said, I got my own damn room right quick.

I was speaking to him (yeah, i know...WHY) a few years after I graduated, and we were discussing politics, and he just could not comprehend why people who don't agree with him shouldn't just be forced to shut up.  Even when I explained that if he wants to keep his own rights to speech and expression, he has to respect the rights of others, even when he doesn't agree.  I explained how his responsibility was to stand up and defend his opinions, not hide those of others from public consumption.

They are all afraid as SHIT that one, just one person will get the idea in their head that they are actually FREE to discard this politically correct, diversity-laden, communist-tract inspired mumbo-jumbo, and thereafter actually will discard it.

This totalitarian behavior is born of abject fear of rejection of their entire worldview.

These are not stable, well-adjusted people who are secure in their own personas.  They are deeply insecure, troubled people who desperately seek validation.  They stomp all over free speech because there's a distinct chance that if they let someone talk, they will be rejected, and that their fragile little egos cannot abide.

Witness the abuse thrown at Breitbart or other conservatives on Twitter.  They've dared reject the worldview and the persona.  These highly-insecure people have no other alternative but to demonize and dehumanize those who simply reminded them that they are not a very special butterfly, but merely one speck on a ship of 7 billion freaks.

They will crack, violently, because that's all they have left.

pretty much this. there is no middle ground, there's no way to have rational discourse with people who's ideology is based on hard core communism. This is a pile of asshole liberals that have no problem with the fact that their beloved political system has murdered hundreds of millions of people.

66 One other nit-pick on the title here. Shutting them up is not an example of "consensus". Achieving "consensus" is a process in which a group reaches agreement based on what everyone can agree on as a minimum.

In real concensus if one person maintains that they can not abide with a decision, then consensus has not been reached. A true democracy is basically mob rule.

What we have here appears to be rule by oligarchy.

From grade 1 to 5, I went to a "Quaker" school (really it was a hard-left indoctrination camp, which I realized later on in life.  This was the same school where Kevin Jennings cut his teeth) where we didn't vote on things. Instead, we reached consensus.

And if someone didn't agree, there was a shit-ton of pressure on them to go along.  Even on kids who were 6, 7 years old, who might not have the verbal or rhetorical skills even to explain wy they didn't agree with something.

It was very creepy.  We were supposed to feel go about ourselves, having agreed to whatever the teachers put in front of us.  I always felt dirty afterward, and I didn't know why.

Those same Lord of the Flies head-bash sessions that we were subjected to 30 years ago as mere tots are now the central feature of any sort of left-wing governance.  And I still feel drity about it.

79 Anarchism is communism.  It's part of the communist theology.

You can't compare the two. One is a form of government, or non-government, and the other is a form of economic control performed by a government.

So I guess I started off with a bad premise to begin with. That being, said, you can not have communism without either a dictatorship or an oligarchy with absolute power. Someone has to take control of the wealth and property and dole it out as they see fit (usually to their cronies).

In anarchy there is no government, therefore communism is not possible because nobody will control the economy at all. Hell with anarchy you are more likely to get true capitalism, or as the leftists like to say, "unfettered capitalism".

Anarchism is communism. 

 

Astute.  Usually when you hear about "anarchists,"  what those people really are, are anarcho-syndicalists.  That is, they prefer government where the indivisible unit of political power is the trade union, the racial identity group, the gender-identity group, or whatever.  All the groups which conservatives by nature reject out of hand as illegitimate because they are artifical and easily-controlled by elites.  And the type of government these groups would participate in would be a solialistic one.

The only difference between a Communist and an Anarchist is that the Anarchist desires an additional layer of control over the individual.

Posted by: Truman North at November 23, 2011 11:57 AM (I2LwF)

84 Yeah, but anarchy leads to communism because when people start eating each other even the hard core anachists cry out for a tyrant to save them.

Your problem is that you're expecting competence.  Just roll with the idiocy and you'll feel less stressed.

Here's how that conversation should have gone.

"I want that thingy where I get half of one thingy and another thingy."
"You mean the half sandwich/cup of soup deal?"
"Yeah, that's it.  And on the sandwich I want..."

By breaking it down like that (and pretending you're even more stupid than they are) you make them do all the hard work of the conversation, and you get to be laughing at them at the same time.

I never order drinks by "size" any more.  I ask for "the little one," the "middle one," or "a really big one."  Because every time you order a Large, they then ask "Do you want a large? Or an extra large?  Or a super-duper large?"

Seems like the anarchists never learn that the only way to deal with communist thugs is to drive them off with force, which pretty much precludes Anarchism working.

Any time you try to not have some kind of government, the looters, moochers, and violent control freaks try to fill the vacuum.

98 Vic, you and I are talking at cross-purposes.

There is a wing of communists who refer to themselves as anarcho-communists. But they are not true anarchists. A true anarchist is one who believes in no government at all. Those are the rock throwing idiots that you see at the G-8 conferences. Although there may be some rock-throwing communists mixed in to stir the pot because that is how they usually seize power.

Of course communists lie.

118 That dude's got problems, Vic. ------------ In 2001, he was deployed for the first time to Afghanistan, serving in the "Valley of Elah." The Valley of Elah refers to the site where the Biblical battle between David and Goliath took place. It also is the name of a 2007 movie, but there is no Valley of Elah in Afghanistan. In 2004, his unit was deployed to Iraq. Asked where he served, he said "Route Irish." That's a military designation for a section of the road connecting Baghdad's International Zone to the Baghdad Airport. It's also the name of a 2010 foreign film. From February 2006 to March 2007, Simmance said he was again in "the Valley of Elah," Afghanistan, and, after returning from that deployment, he was ordered back to Afghanistan's "Congo Valley" in April 2007. There is no Congo Valley in Afghanistan. --------------

123 O/T Looks like Michelle Bachmann broke some new "news" : FACT CHECK: How Serious is the Threat to PakistanÂ’s Nuclear Program? By Yochi J. Dreazen Updated: November 23, 2011 | 8:39 a.m. November 22, 2011 | 9:22 p.m. Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann serves on the House Intelligence Committee, so her comments on PakistanÂ’s nuclear program represent either a news-making leak of previously unknown classified information or another in her recent series of seemingly-random, and highly inaccurate, public comments. During the CNN debate, Bachmann said that 15 Pakistani nuclear sites were vulnerable to jihadist attacks, and that six of the sites had previously come under some form of Islamist attack. U.S. intelligence and military officials believe that Pakistan has 15 nuclear sites, but no U.S. official has publicly said that all of the sites were vulnerable to militant attack or confirmed that any of them had previously come under any form of jihadist attack.

They're like a bunch of sheep. Those people in the Walmart video looked like members of cult. You half expect them to end their sheeple bleating by offing themselves with poison kool aid. The best thing I can say about the morons and moronettes is that you would never see that kind of groupthought from the people on this blog.

According to local media it's all but a done deal. He's supposedly been offered $40 mil over 7 years and has been told he can also bring in his own staff. Fickell is to become asst. head coach.

An interesting twist is that Meyer evidently does NOT like A.D. Gene Smith and part of the deal is that Smith loses his job, which would make Buckeye fans very happy.

Then again, this is hearsay and speculation but more and more sources are coming out saying yep, this going to happen, supposedly Monday or Tuesday.

194 Okay, forgive me if I get nitpicky for a second. "Anarchy" as a political philosophy exists, only barely. The people at economic summits or OWS with black armbands and rocks are NOT ANARCHISTS. They claim the title and have effectively nothing to do with the philosophy. They are a mix of pure nihilists, anarcho-syndicalists, people with oppositional-defiant disorder and impulse control issues, and communists posing. Actual Anarchists believe in absolute personal responsibility (otherwise government is a necessity), and thus you would never see one in a mask breaking someone else's hard-earned window. In fact, you'll probably never see one at all.

202 Re: the sidebar link to the new Clancy game.  It seems to me the new terrorist threat is actually the OWS movement, not the Tea Party.

This new terrorist threat, called the True Patriots, hopes to restore its interpretation of American values by beheading corporate America and overthrowing the government.

I've been all through the Freedomworks website and can't find either ideal.  And we've seen more than enough video evidence to confidently assert that OWSers are for both goals.

I also thought I heard Clancy on Beck's show once.

I've been having a blast reading the NYCGA's minutes of their GA, Spokes, and Coordinators meetings.

When the GA became too unwieldy to accomplish anything for the original park occupiers, they proposed and formed a SpokesCouncil just for the occupation's operational groups.  First order of business after getting GA's approval to form up was to determine which of the 80+ working groups, caucuses, and other affiinity groups were part of "operations" and thus could be a member of the Operations SpokesCouncil.

The first cut meeting was to decide which groups were "no-brainers" for being in or out of the Operations SpokesCouncil.  The second cut meeting was to determine the status of the others, with each group sending up a "spoke" to make a case for the group being an Operations group and to answer questions/concerns from the spokes of the other groups.

The facilitation team arbitrarily decided to limit the number of questioners in queue ("stack") to four.  Four out of eighty plus groups at the meeting.  Once 4 questions (or less) had been asked, question time ended and it was time to reach consensus or table the request to join. 

Facilitators also used "progressive stack" to bring the marginalized voices (any grievance group of identity politics) to the front of the queue in preference over any combination of straight, white, & male.  Woe unto groups that did not have a spoke who was a female-identified, gender confused person of color.

Facilitation then decided to impose a voice diversity rule that if you were a spoke at the previous meeting, then you could not be a spoke at the current meeting.  Some groups were too small to have enough people reliably show up on differing nights and so either had just one person on both nights, or had borrowed another group's spoke to represent them on both nights.

The total chaos that evolved into outright shouting matches and groups picking up and leaving in disgust was ... beautiful.

231 Common misconception. In truth, the First Amendment -- "freedom of speech" -- addresses ONLY the GOVERNMENT's ability to curtail speech. It does not address, say, a blog owner's ability to delete comments, or a portion of the public from boycotting a store that engages in speech they don't like, or a network's ability to fire an on air personality for saying something stupid or offensive. Here, the thugs' silencing of an opposing view is perhaps cowardly , but it has literally no "free speech" implications, legally or logically.
