    The Corporation

    (Again with the documentaries, I’ve been bingeing on them in procrastinating writing my final papers for school.)

    Watching this film is for the most part, horrifying. I’m not going to go all to much in detail, there’s a sparse page over at wikipedia for you to browse.

    Just a quote I figured I’d write up, it’s about the 1992 bolivian water revolt in the city of Cochabamba.

    At the climax of the struggle, the army stayed in their barracks; the police also remained in their stations; the members of Congress became invisible; the Governor went into hiding, and afterwards, he resigned. There wasn’t any authority left. The only legitimate authority was the people gathered at the city square making decisions in large assemblies. Oscar Olivera, Coalition in Defense of Water and Life
