Please post this SOLIDARITY STATEMENT from Revolution Bookstore in Berkeley

[Revolution Books]

Revolution Books wholeheartedly joins in supporting
the November 2 General Strike & Mass Day of Action
called for by Occupy Oakland! We will close our
store for the day in solidarity, and bring our books
and literature downtown as part of the general
strike. Join Us!

We urge everyone – individuals, groups,
organizations, schools, businesses to do the same.
Walk out of school, get your unions to call a one
day walk out; don’t work, come down to Oscar
Grant Plaza. The whole world will be watching
Oakland on November 2: we must make a powerful
statement that Occupy Oakland and the whole
Occupy Movement Will NOT Be Shut Down – but our
resistance will become even broader and more
determined. All this can contribute greatly to the
emergence of a new, growing movement for
revolution that can sweep away the horrors of
imperialism and set to work creating a whole new
world.

Revolution newspaper writes:

"From New York to Denver to Oakland and other
cities, the Occupy movement is coming under brutal
and heartless attacks from the police and the
powers behind them—and the people at the Occupy
encampments and their supporters are responding
with determination and courageous resistance.

"OWS, in its audacity and with its cooperative ethos,
is challenging the numbing atomization in society,
where people feel isolated and left to their own. A
new generation of young people is stepping to the
fore, taking responsibility, and setting an example.
Big questions about economics, the oppressive
power structure, and the nature of capitalism are
getting posed. All of this is causing concern and
consternation in the ruling class—which is striking
back, with police attacks as well attempts to pen in,
channel, and derail this movement.

"This major development in U.S. society is
important, and it’s crucial that this movement
continue and intensify and rise to new challenges.
As the Occupy movement shines the spotlight on the
inequalities and injustices of the system we live
under, those in the midst of the struggle are
grappling with, debating over, and summing up
some crucial lessons…." (www.revcom.us)
