I think it is important for people to read critiques such as this one. Many people were there Monday night and there was a lot of energy. It is both fascinating and disturbing how the administration was able to recuperate most of that energy through negotiations. Even people who don't have any clear critique of the UC can see that what happened was no victory for any sort of liberated space, which must clash with the forces of order and become stronger for it, or move away from the content of that struggle (direct, lack of representation) into its opposite. unless you are COMPLETELY blinded by ideology, it is pretty clear that the content of this struggle was at least temporarily destroyed by compromises and that is why so many of the people who were participating no longer feel it is something they want to be a part of. It is no longer interesting. Some of us don't want to come up with "platforms" to present to bureaucrats. It feels like a graveyard media spectacle.
