Sure, no worries, I'm in. What email address do I send stuff to so that I don't end up spamming people unnecessarily? 

I agree with Michel, to me this looks like something big could come out of it. I'd never dreamt of what is happening when I started "being a pain" about the need to go out on May 15th in Spain. I was only hoping for a decent turnout that day. Italy happily obliging within a couple of days and then Greece and then this #europeanrevolution being organised for Sunday is a massive surprise. I thought Europe was dead, there might be hope o.O

Dear Chris,

in a short intro to a piece on spain, I wrote the following endorsement, so I think we should follow this very closely and support this evolving global movement to the best of our abilities,

I hope you can be our point man, perhaps with Amaia as pointwoman, in Spain, I think her storyify format would be great for regular updates ...

I also copying vasilis and George in Greece, in the hope they can contribute stories about how this develops in Greece,

Michel

When people agree on what they don't want, i.e. a market dictatorship in the hands of a financial predatory class, but are open-minded about the future, what should they ask for?

The answer is very simply: true democracy, as this leaves all options open to create 'other worlds'.

This is why the relative indeterminacy of the Spanish movement is not a bug, but a feature. It signals civil society forces have found a format for their protests, and a unifying platform, and this is why what happened in Spain is really Ground Zero for the start of a process towards deep transformation of our civilisation and political economy. It's early days, just green shoots, and the new generations have to be politically schooled as they face obstacles and repression, but, the tipping point has been reached, and something new has blossomed in the world.
