This is what we should be doing:

Students have developed effective self-governance through student plenums or assemblies, where each student has the right to speak and all decisions are voted on. Ad hoc working groups are put in place to deal with various issues, from security and logistics to PR and legal questions.

The university occupations function without a discernable leadership, alternating the representatives who speak to the public. They are adamant about their autonomy, vocally distancing themselves from all political parties and party politics, as well as from established civil society organisations and even informal groups.

In doing so, they are creating a new political space and new means for the political to be enacted, breaking through the confines of ossified institutionalised politics and representative democracy.

Students have effectively created what might be called a “disobedient institution”, partly within the system and partly outside of it, which proclaims its own political sovereignty, recognises and formulates its own needs, defines its own rules, and pursues its own agendas.
