Nobody commemorates the day Tienamen was occupied. They commemorate the day the tanks rolled. OWS is hard to commemorate because it was diffused, not defeated. David Graeber wrote a great article about what didn't work and why; you can't find it now because if you search "David Graeber" "Occupy Wall Street" what you get are a bunch of obituaries.

Supposedly, Occupy Wall Street won the future. I'm not sure that's true. One thing's for sure - it crushed a lot of dreams.
