Subject: Fwd: Fwd: Permit Me To Protest<br>To: <a href="mailto:michel@p2pfoundation.net">michel@p2pfoundation.net</a>, <a href="mailto:Silke.Helfrich@gmx.de">Silke.Helfrich@gmx.de</a><br><br><br><br>
A fascinating blog post on how the police (acting on behalf of business) seeks to limit and privatize public spaces in order to stifle protest against enclosures. �In other words, repression of protest is an act of enclosure itself -- and literally occurs when the state requires a "permit to protest" and the police push people off the commons of public spaces into "private" spaces so that they can arrest (and de-legitimize) them.<br>
<br>
In short, the post makes a nice link between the Occupy movement and the commons.<br>
