www.occupyeducated.org This is an emergency response to the destruction of the library at Occupy Wall Street, a clear attempt to destroy the education of passionate people who are tired of living in a deeply flawed system. Razing libraries and burning books has historically failed every time; thiis will be the most colossal failure to repress education in history, because this time, the education will not be centralized. Just as the library was a collection of donated books, OccupyEducated.org is a place where you can have your say as to what books are important reading for understanding the occupation.

Been censored. People just will not admit it until a gov entity claims it.
Yeah, well right now if SOPA passes, the internet will be censored too.
People read these days? What kind of crazy planet are you people from?
Actually the comparison to the Nazis is not correct – I think this is even worse… You see the Nazis understood that books are dangerous. BUT Bloomberg actually doesn’t give a shit. They didn’t burn the books – they threw them in the garbage. And that’s not the same thing.
Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. There is an idea, Mr. Creedy – and ideas are bulletproof.
Knowledge is power. The Latin word for book is libre, which is also a word connected with freedom/liberty. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery free you mind, Educate Yourself!, f
The People’s Library is taken down but you can’t take down an idea, you can’t eliminate thought, you can’t stop closed conversation. I see girlies with lockets with microSD cards inside who swap those out, read and share images, books, notes – some get posted online. Technology = tools & knowledge. Use ‘em. Share your titles with the site, share your pulp books or scan your books to PDF and share on thumb drives, CD, microSD. Trade. Teach. Don’t be afraid to learn. Just saying…
THANK GOD FOR OCCUPY WALL STREET AND HOPEFULLY EVERYONE WILL WAKE UP AS WELL.THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOK LIKE INDEED!!!OWS MY FAMILY AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ASAP!!!!
EDUCATION is the ONE thing ‘they’ can’t take from you, and with KNOWLEDGE, you can rebuild. So. Get books suggested from the site. Get the PDF files of those available. Share your knowledge and books. Learn and teach others.

They look like Nazis to me, except for the lack of brownshirts and the fact they don’t speak German.
@llothar68
It’s always been corporatism, they just call it capitalism. You can tell by the unique relationship between corporation and state and the revolving doors between public and private sector.
@jundeefiljaish
What’s also rocket science is the fact that anyone who goes to the occupy movement to see what it’s about will undoubtedly need to be educated, and that’s where books come in.
So… Good one, sir. I’m glad that you know your logic along with rocket science.
The 1% are the scum bastards that are terrorising the masses.
I value books very highly too. That’s why I don’t keep mine…in…a…park…. (Rocket science, I know….)
@occupyeducated What makes you say that? The Nazis destroyed knowledge and suppressed freedom of speech. Sounds the same to me.
I have taken books and will continue to do so. Books equal knowledge. Knowledge is a challenge to the 1%.
@visionofmalkav Did you even look at the site? Every single book says:
“Reading Options
1. Buy from a local, small-business bookstore
2. Borrow and donate at your local library
3. Buy from Amazon as a last resort, which supports our site via 6% of your purchase when you use this link.”
Wow, how predatory to offer TWO other options and then ANNOUNCE that the last resort link goes to Amazon and supports the site so it can operate!
Even if you do not agree with Dr. Paul 100% of the time, what is your alternative? Every single one of them are corrupt except for Ron Paul. Ron Paul understands our pain and frustration, and he was been warning about this for a long time. Occupy and Ron Paul share more common ground than any other presidential candidate. The Ron Paul Revolution and Occupy movement would be a strong allies in the fight to take the country back.
@x1pyroveride
Stop this shit – corporatism is capitlaism and capitalism is corporatism.
Capitalism is about making money from money. MAKING MONEY – it’s never about the honor to do this only with good products but with every legal way. So it is a natural consequence that it ends in corporatism when competition and profit margins are too low on main street items.
Brazil is doing your part, an idea never dies.
The war is just beginning. we are here, we want education of quality, greater punishment for corrupt politicians, followed by their extinction, we are here to learn, teach, help, be helped. Expect us.
its not CAPITALISM that you should be targeting. you should target CORPORATISM, people that profit from gov’t people like newt gingrish. vote the correct people in like Ron Paul, and you have a prosperous nation.
This website is an absolute sham. Predatory capitalism at it’s finest.
There are tons of websites out there, and have been for years, that have all this information and hundreds times more, all of superior scholarly quality, for free ie historyisaweapon[DOT]com
I noticed that until yesterday, they didn’t bother pointing out that all their links to Amazon are AFFILIATE links- that’s right, Affiliate Marketing Links. The site launched that way.
They’re predators, and you are feeding them.
Can people stop with the Nazi comparisons? it makes you look and sound just as bad the the Lyndon LaRouche nut jobs who like to display pictures of Obama in a Hitler mustache. it doesn’t help anyone. Let’s have more positivity!!!
