I dont think it would be great if you Santa Cruzans ruled the world. I live in Santa Cruz and I sure wouldn't want to live in world of a predominantely white, middle class, hippie, theory-but-no-action population...Santa Cruz, specially the UCSC population is so so disconnected from reality, i would not want to live in a place that claims to be progressive but in reality is mostly about image and style of life instead of active resistance. Things such as anti-racist organizing and anti-patriarchal organizing still need to be erradicated from Santa Cruz...where it seems like everyone wants to hug a tree, yet have not been able to hug a sister/brother.
The UCSC strike is very exciting to me as an individual, and it gives me hope to see the better face of santa cruz for once...
...it's not about "seizing" power, but about abolishing coersive power!
