2011-Present, Authority, Date, Defining the Enemy, Occupation, Privatization, Tactics of Disruption, The Bourgeoisie

This is a manifesto written by an international Occupy assembly, a part of the larger Occupy movement. It presents a powerful critique of the current global system, asserting that it prioritizes profit and competition over human dignity and environmental well-being. Emerging from global protest movements, the manifesto condemns economic inequality, corporate influence over politics, and the existing financial framework. The manifesto goes beyond mere complaint, aiming to pinpoint the causes of the crisis and propose alternatives to the existing order. Ultimately, the document is a call to action, emphasizing that the movements will fight until global democracy and social justice are achieved.
