Moving From A War Economy To A Peace Economy
 By Mary Beth Sullivan

http://www.countercurrents.org/sullivan231011.htm

It behooves the peace movement to create a vision that the populace can get excited about – a vision that will capture people's imagination. A vision that sees skills and talents of our engineers and scientists creating the renewable energy infrastructure that is critical to surviving the 21 st Century; a vision that engages peace activists, environmentalists, labor, students, artists, food security folks in creating plans for how we will heat homes, feed people, transport people in the year 2040. This is the true security need for the U.S., and the world

A Look At The Occupy Movement
 In A Manner Neither Forceful Nor Foolish
 By Ron Jacobs

http://www.countercurrents.org/jacobs231011.htm

Yet, as a veteran of numerous occupations/liberations I can honestly say that the fact of occupying can often become the raisin d'etre of a movement , thereby preventing further political action beyond that involved in maintaining the liberated space. Those of us with an anti-capitalist analysis would do well to involve ourselves in a manner that is neither forceful nor foolish


Imperialism And Democracy:
 White House Or Liberty Square?
 By James Petras

http://www.countercurrents.org/petras231011.htm

A war on Iran would shatter the US Treasury. Deficits would spiral out of control. Unemployment would double. This likely sequence of events would trigger a massive democratic movement and a decisive struggle between an emerging republic struggling to give birth and a decaying empire threatening to drag the world into the inferno of its own demise

A World United For Human Rights
 By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook231011.htm

 Should Americans join with their brothers and sisters around the world to force their governments to meet the ideals enunciated by Roosevelt in his second Bill of Rights, marking the need to address them first as necessities and second as responsive to the unique cultures of each nation, then the last three articles of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be met and the ultimate goal of a world at peace might be possible


Why The Far Right "Supports"
 The Occupy Movement
 By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke231011.htm

Placing the Occupy Movement firmly on the Left with working class-specific demands will strengthen the movement while expelling fake populist intruders who would love to derail this movement


Outside The Box: Occupy Wall Street
 By Rand Clifford

http://www.countercurrents.org/clifford231011.htm

Change we can believe in? It will only come from outside the system, outside the box. And the dream is alive. Corporatocracy does their worst to kill the dream; but again, how do you kill an idea? Surely, they are working overtime on that problem. The rest is up to us
