Synopsis

What role has the graduate with no future played in the global wave of unrest that gripped 2011? What connects digital natives and the remainder of capital in struggle? What role will ideologies play in future upheavals and why have some memes resonated, others not?

In February 2011 BBC Newsnight economist Paul Mason sought to explain the motivations, of those taking to the streets in a blog post entitled 20 Reasons Why its Kicking off everywhere. These interventions shed light on to the growing movements arising in opposition to state solutions to the crisis facing capital and the prospects for a new democracy. The essays in Occupy Everything further elaborate or take inspiration from Mason s 20 Reasons.
