Since these days things have spread, BIGTIME...

Presently the AMERICAN REVOLUTION is underway, thanks to the #OCCUPYWALLSTREET actions from a few days ago:
The American Revolution is underway, #occupywallstreet takes it to the belly of the beast

And experiences from the #SPANISHREVOLUTION were passed onto people in Ireland, to a small degree, and more importantly at the TRANSITION CONFERENCE in Liverpool:

At the Transition Town Network conference in LIverpool last July, members of Barcelona En Transició told the stories of peaceful revolt and revolution that was happening in Spain during the previous 2 months and how it was completely tied in with the base ideas of Transition.

Transition and the #SpanishRevolution – Transition Conference 2011, Liverpool

by Dunk Sun Jun 05, 2011 10:04

There have been much developments in Spain and the world in the last few weeks. M27, Friday 27th of May, saw the Catalan police, the Mossos, enter the Barcelona camp, beat many people severly, shoot off loads of rubber bullets, injure 140 people, 4 severly... BUT it has only made us stronger. Im passing on what I think are the 2 best vids I have seen of M27 and of the #spanishrevolution in general, Please pass around, spread word, inspire, organise and bring the revolution home to your area...

Infos re M27: Barcelona Camp being evicted now so Barca Football club can celebrate
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99883

Celebrated author, sociologist, network theorist etc... Manuel Castells was in the camp after the attack, he wrote an excellent article about the movement, which has been translated by hugh green here: Castells on #wikiacampadas: going slow because they’re going far
http://hughgreen.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/castells-on-w...-far/

At the end, in Madrid a few spent the night in the Puerta del Sol, and the following day some more in Barcelona on the Plaza Catalunya. They talked, they dreamed and they tweeted their networks of friends. The next day they were hundreds. Then, thousands. When they were evicted from the Puerta del Sol, many thousands more came.

The acampadas proliferated in Spain and they extended through the world. On the 25th, after the elections received with total indifference in this emerging society, despite the fact that it signaled the total collapse of really inexisting socialism, there were 706 acampadas registered on the map of the globe.

They keep appearing as each locality adds its peaceful, festive and protesting demonstration to the networks weaved between cyberspace and urban space.

A slow process because, as a poster reads in Barcelona, “we’re going slowly because we’re going far”. So those who minimize the wikiacampadas still do not understand how profound they are. They may leave the squares, to return to them periodically, but they will not leave the social networks and the minds of those who participate. They are no longer alone and they have lost their fear. Because they discovered new forms of organization, participation and mobilization that burst the traditional channels belonging to those whom a large section of society, and the majority of young people, distrust. Parties and institutions will have to learn to live with this emerging civil society. If not, they will hollow out from the inside while citizens move from wikiacampadas to that networked democracy yet to be discovered in a collective practice that finds its root in every person.

http://twitter.com/#!/fuspey/status/73474858167713793

That famous square outside the Greek parliament, where months ago, we saw thousands beaten down from the steps... Well in that square there is now camped 40,000 people, in just 1 of the many ACAMPADA actions that have happened all around Greece, in there day of action, M25, the day the #SPANISHREVOLUTION sparked #GREEKREVOLUTION. (more than 30 cities have been occupied)

At present, as i type, sitting here in 1 of the front rows infront of our screen in Placa Catalunya, we will hook up with that square (Parliament square??) to connect the 2 squares, say hello, build up and deepen the network.

M25 - inspired by the demos and camps in spain, the greeks go out tomorrow to the streets to stay and camp!! #greekrevolution

Greeks are rising!

Greeks are ready to rise tomorrow in all the major cities around Greece. The movement ''aganaktismenoi sto Syntagma'': Frustrated in Syntagma Square is based on the movement of the people in Spain. Media are trying to sabotage this effort and all the movement pages around Facebook are deleted suspiciously! But we will be there! (CNN i-report)

The instigator of the Icelandic revolution sends a message of support to the Spanish people (vid in english, with spanish subtitles)
(El impulsor de la revolución islandesa, manda un mensaje de apoyo a los españoles)
http://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6r%C3%B0ur_Torfason on icelandic wikipedia

Vid aqui - 4.20mins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlVow6t5lOM (vid in english, with spanish subtitles)

Hello people of Spain.My name is Hörður Torfason (Hordur Torfason).I am standing in front of the parliament building in Iceland, in Reykjavik, the capital.In October the 11th 2008, I came down here and started asking people were passing by “what has happened in Iceland? what is happening? what can we do?”And I stood here everyday for a week.At 12 o’clock I came down here and I asked people to meet up, and I asked the parliament members who passed by. I am not a politician I am an artist who has been fighting using my talents to fight for human rights for more than 40 years. And I considered the situation in Iceland, in 2008, the financial crash, a human right issue. So, a week later, I had hired a big car and sound equipment and I started weekly demonstration meetings here to analyse the situation and ask the government to step down, because they had failed their duties.And to me, and most people, we saw through the corruption. And now 2 years have passed by, and we have had news of corruption almost everyday. Now, to do a demonstration what I really emphasised in the meetings, in the beginning of every meeting, was that we do this peacefully, no violence. Because if we use violence, the politicians, the government will use force, they will use the police, in your case, I think, even armed. This took continuously a lot work doing this, it took 5 months, but it succeeded one hundred percent. We haven’t finished, because changing the society takes decades, we are always changing our societies. But I challenged everyone here in Iceland, I asked to use the pots the pans, our stories, our songs, make it peaceful make it joyful protests. That’s the way. And take care of each other, Became friends, sharing your worries, be together, stick together. Because politicians see a group of people, they look at 10000 people and they think this people are 10000 votes, this is our way of making that understand. We select you to the parliament to be our servants, you are not our masters. We are the people, we decide, and we don’t like to be cheated, or lied to. We want changes and we want honesty, is that too much to ask for? No, it’s not. We want a society where everyone is included, not just few rich people. People of Spain, thank you, good luck with your protests. Bye from Iceland for now anyway.

EN CASTELLANO:
Hola gente de España.Mi nombre es Hordur Torfason.Estoy en frente del edificio del parlamento en Islandia, en Reykjavik, la capital. El 11 de Octubre del 2008, vine aquí y empecé a preguntar a la gente que pasaba por aquí: ¿" Qué ha sucedido en Islandia? ¿Qué está pasando? ¿Qué podemos hacer? "Estuve aquí todos los días durante una semana.A las 12 llegaba aquí y pedía a la gente que se reuniese, también se lo preguntaba a los miembros del parlamento que pasaban por aquí. Yo no soy político soy un artista que ha estado luchando con mis talentos, a favor de los derechos humanos durante más de 40 años. Yo consideraba que la situación de Islandia, en 2008, la crisis financiera, era un tema de derechos humanos.Así, una semana más tarde, alquile un gran coche y equipo de sonido y empecé unas reuniones semanales aquí, para analizar la situación y pedir al gobierno que dimitiese, porque habían fallado en sus deberes.Yo y la mayoría de la gente, veíamos que había corrupción. Y ahora dos años mas tarde, tenemos noticias de esta corrupción casi todos los días. Ahora, para hacer una manifestación, en lo que realmente hacía hincapié en las reuniones, al inicio de cada reunión, era que debíamos de hacerlo de forma pacífica, sin violencia. Porque si usamos la violencia, los políticos, el gobierno hace uso de la fuerza, hacen uso de la policía, en vuestro caso, creo que, incluso armada.Hacer esto supuso un trabajo continuo, nos llevo 5 meses, pero tuvo un éxito del cien por cien. Todavía no hemos terminado, porque cambiar la sociedad lleva décadas. Pero yo desafié a los Islandeses, les pedí que usasen las ollas y las sartenes, nuestras historias, nuestras canciones, que hiciesen que las protestas fuesen pacificas y alegres. Ese es el camino. Y cuidar el uno del otro, compartir las preocupaciones, estar juntos y unidos. Porque los políticos miran a un grupo de personas, ven a 10000 personas y piensan que pueden ser 10000 votos, esta es nuestra manera de hacer que entiendan. Nosotros los elegimos para el parlamento, para que sean nuestros sirvientes, no son nuestros amos. Nosotros somos el pueblo, nosotros decidimos, y no nos gusta ni que nos engañen ni que nos mientan. Queremos cambios y queremos honestidad, es esto demasiado pedir? No, no lo es. Queremos una sociedad donde se incluya a todo el mundo, no sólo unos pocos ricos. Gente de España, gracias, y buena suerte con sus protestas. De momento, adiós desde Islandia.
