What the Bolsheviks and communists did to their own people with violence, indiscriminate murder, starvation, torture, and concentration camps, union leaders in America want to accomplish via plans to destroy our financial system, undermine the stock market, disrupt capitalism, redistribute the wealth, and destabilize the country.

"We need to figure out in a much more through direct action, much more concrete way, how we really trying to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate" ...

"There are actually extraordinary things we could do right now that would start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement"  ...

"We have an entire economy that is built on debt and banks so the question would be what would happen if we organized homeowners in mass to do a mortgage strike if we get half a million people to agree  it would literally cause a new finical crisis for the banks not for us we would be doing quite well we wouldn't be paying anything." ...

"if we really believe that we are in a transformative stage of what's happening in capitalism, then we need to confront this in a serious way and develop really ability to put a boot in the wheel, then we have to think not about labor and community alliances  we have to think about how together we are building something that really has the capacity to disrupt how the system operates" ...

"We have to think much more creatively. The key thing... What does the other side fear the most - they fear disruption. They fear uncertainty. Every article about Europe says in they rioted in Greece the markets went down" ...

"what we are looking at is the first week in May can we get enough people together starting now to really have an week of action in New York I don't want to give any details because I don't know if there are any police agents in the room, but the goal would be that we will roll out of New York the first week of May. We will connect three ideas:

- that we are not broke there is plenty of money

- they have the money  - we need to get it back ...

- and so we need to take on those folks at the same time and that we will start here we are going to look at a week of civil disobedience - direct action all over the city"

"There is going to be a ten state mobilization it try and shut down that meeting and then looking at bank shareholder meetings around the country and try and create some moments like Madison except where we are on offense instead of defense

Where we have brave and heroic battles challenging the power of the giant corporations. We hope to inspire a much bigger movement about redistributing wealth and power in the country and that labor can't do itself that community groups can't do themselves but maybe we can work something new and different that can be brave enough  and daring and nimble enough to do that kind of thing."
