That isn't direct action. That is just whining. Direct action should take place within the civil sector, and should involve normal private citizens getting together and organizing around some shared need. What I am trying to do is build a D.I.Y. activist movement. Activism should take place outside the forces of the marketplace.
Nothing sucks more than being a professional activist.
There are no bigger assholes in the world than professional activists. So, now that I've defined what I mean by activism, I can move on. My goal in organizing is to use the internet to create a renewal of the civil society in America, thereby laying the foundation for a new activist movement. I believe that the internet is KEY in building this movement. I beleive that th e internet is one of the greatest leaps forward ever in the evolution of the civil society.
