Movement Name Poll, Help us name the movement

I agree: I wouldn't hang the name of the organization up on the points in the manifest, also. Nathan's version is a single, rudimentary version of many possible manifests. As Fiona noted, it is not specific enough: This is on purpose, because Nathan wants to appeal to as many lefty people as possible. I think perhaps it should be an introduction to the specific ideas, for which the forum can be a platform, and should then be (re)worded as such.

"The Unnamed Manifest" is actually real nice, as long as it is a nonspecific meta-manifest that invites and encourages all "indignants" to produce political ideas. To speak out for what you wish to stand for, is a scary political act. The crime and success of today's media-politics is to make sure alternative politics are never outspoken: They are taboo; unmentioned; unnamed. Yet loads of people have sentiments much similar to what the original manifest included. The main media are deceitful. The main politics are disconnected. And so people tend to believe there is no alternative, because all they hear, and the only options they have to vote on, are at best watered down versions of crony capitalism. We need only tell people that there is an alternative that they can believe in: that they can create their own politics at some scale, and if enough people believe it, they can achieve more than they dare to dreamed when they were only one.

We must simply engage people and convince them that they can take politics on, as a single person, to achieve justice and all the beautiful ideas that have always been promised but never quite delivered. Break the taboo. Let everyone speak their truth. For telling the truth, in a time of universal deceit, becomes a true revolutionary act, spoke George Orwell.
