General Assembly requires a convergence of people in a public space, with or without the approval of the authorities. An open Forum, literally (in ancient Rome) or the Agora in Greece.
We could take a different sort of space and MAKE it a public space, but once you take it out of the parks, methinks most of the passive supporters won't really understand. And once their support wanes, it becomes a plaything of the institutional left.
What do people remember about protests in the WWI - Depression Era? The Bonus Army march. The Hoovervilles.
The Civil Rights era?
Resurrection City was Martin Luther King's final project before he died. We can't seem to recreate it, even now that a convergence is supposedly scheduled for DC in April. Everyone complained about the rats in Resurrection City (the Poor People's Campaign). They passed the Anti-Camping law to get rid of it after MLK's death.
Occupy, what do?
