The Occupy Movement (Part 7) - by Moses

  When I last revisited the Occupy Movement I called on the next Woodstock.  What I'd like to expand on now is how to build the infrastructure of the Occupy Movement across Canada.  Should the Canadian Kibbutz Movement be centralized or de-centralized?  In other words should it be regulated Federally or Provincially.  As we see the failure the U.S.A is having with their centralized F.E.M.A Camps, perhaps it should be de-centralized and honoured Province to Province to take into account distinct societies within Canada that exist Province to Province.

  On any given Kibbutz in Israel there are commonly multiple facets in industry and business dealings that a Kibbutz has with the Israeli Government.  For example a Kibbutz may have a strong agricultural centre, and also a minor manufacturing element.  The Kibbutz has to be able to self sustain economically and is held accountable by the Government, therefore ensuring that it makes money.  For a Kibbutz to self sustain with a labour force of 600 people, that gives total labour force 24,000 hours of time to do their jobs every week if each individual works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.  There is usually 4 or more industries within each Kibbutz; 1) agricultural 2) manufacturing 3) shipping and receiving 4) professionals - someone to do the books, provide banking services, lend legal advice when necessary etc.  There are also positions that need to be taken into account such as laundry duty, kitchen staff, and wood-shop.

  To appreciate the Occupy Movement expanding and becoming relevant in the Western World we would see different views for each occupy site.  For example;  The head of the agricultural centre would have ideas of where to expand, likewise the head of the manufacturing centre having ideas and which professionals deemed to be necessary.  These are details that each occupy site would have to come to terms with, and decide how to be accountable to the Government.  Could 2% of the Canadian GDP be allocated to this movement?  If so, why are the homeless in Canada being left to die, likewise that of Aboriginals on reserves across Canada?  

  Should each Province, Territory incorporate 100 Government funded occupy sites with 600 people on each site, that would entail 60,000 employed in each Province, Territory, and Nunuvit, 780,000 jobs by this writers' account.  Why hasn't Canada adopted this strategy?
