For those familiar with notion of 'Disaster Capitalism' as it is described by Naomi Klein, the current govts wave of policies won't be so shocking. This recession is arguably a prime opportunity to push through shed-loads of unpopular decisions that the public are as yet too phased to respond to with effective dissent, or indeed even appropriate questions.

Anyhow, rather than grumbling about it, here's a thread for suggestions on how those of us interested can begin to suggest options on how to mobilise dissenting action.

As an aside, it's a bummer this topic is too far outside the remit of FAF, as the organisation is already in place and arguably already pools many of those folkies & activists who would oppose much of what is currently happening.
