「佔領中環」想想資本主義香港

   去年10月17日星島日報報道：多個團體在香港發起的「佔領中環」行動，昨日繼續於滙豐總行地下靜坐……組織代表表示，會輪流請假到中環集會，「最少持續一星期。」

十個月過去，星島日報本月14日報道：「高等法院聆案官昨批准滙豐銀行收回總行地下大堂的業權，要求佔用者於本月二十七日晚上九時前離開，否則法庭執達吏會採取行動，違反法庭命令的人士有可能被控藐視法庭。」

有「佔領中環」的成員接受訪問說，就算清場，人和物資被清走，他們的精神已播種到各人心中，不會消失。話雖如此，這始終是曲終人散時。《明周》記者把握時機，做了一個「清場前夕佔領實錄」專題，細致紀錄了一群参與行動者的面貌，同情而冷靜，不致sentimental和浪漫化。

我想，這些日子他們近似公社形式的生活實驗，日後大概只會剩下記憶，在心底角落散放餘甘。在幽微的社會運動思維網絡中，真的播下反思資本主義的種子了嗎？這得看日後，在預料之內或之外，長出來什麼花果。

這運動看來是有它的理念和理論，例如他們網站8月10日的英文公開信，就頗為「情辭並茂」。我剪貼了一段放在下面。

我的看法：理念弄得合理化和漂亮圓滿，有時未必是好事。資本主義不止是壟斷壓迫和剝削，要抗爭也得要保持客觀。而且，光是妖魔化對手不行，自己要更努力成長。把生命長期寄託在與妖魔戰鬥之中，並不健康。

An Open Letter to All from Occupy Central  (Excerpt)

　　“From the 15th of October, 2011, we have made it clear that we have no regard for the strictures of property that HSBC invokes. In this space, we have created a laboratory in which a different form of life can be invented and elaborated upon, a rehabilitation centre in which the casualties of capitalism can exchange experiences, ideas, laughter and friendship. We have created what we would like to call an ‘impossible space’, one that exposes and demonstrates the elementary point that space, when liberated from property laws and freed for common use, opens itself up to new possibilities, encounters and experiences. Prior to the occupation, bodies would course through this passageway, a continuous surge of bodies in transit to their office cubicles, to their automobiles, to their claustrophobic apartments. Now, we have established a point of convergence that attracts all of the explosive energies that resist the unstoppable flow of alienated life, so that a collective form of thinking and acting can crystallize….”
