Occupy Real Democracy
This is an eight seminar course spanning two hours each. The purpose of the course is to show that Occupy Movement is -- uniquely -- in the real democracy tradition of classical Athens; to provide powerful tools which reveal real democracy -- and expose oligarchy -- so everyone can understand and offer a better future that we can all work for together.
This is not a lecture course. At each session, new political ideas (the “tools”) will be introduced, clarified through question and answer, and applied directly to real world examples in a focussed discussion.
The course is based off a book, The Manifesto of Real Democracy, with readings available on the website. The course follows the arguments of the book, step by step.
