Be Realistic Summary

Be Realistic: Demand The Impossible by Mike Davis

The Occupy Movement took the world by storm in 2011, with protest camps cropping up all over the Western world. Occupiers managed to get everyone's attention as they fought for their rights in earnest, but the movement has stalled in recent months as activists are not exactly sure what should be their next plan of action. Enter Mike Davis. With wit, humour and a remarkable grasp of the political marginalisation of the poor and working class by the 1%, Davis crafts a striking defence of the Occupy Movement and lays out well considered next steps to advance the movement.
