There is much we can talk about and reflect on this Brazilian
collective phenomenon.
We could propose multiple and combined "germ cells" or to infer what
emerging agendas will resist in the ?day after".
But, what is clear is that there was a potential social configuration
that has suffered a phase transition, and mediated by different means
of mediation, many self-organized, creating crowds moving by
pseudopods, spreading through the cities with different leading
motives or interests, a kind of new born organism learning to be
yourself in its on ?inconclusion?.
There was more than 20 years since we had this kind of movement in
Brazil, it is a long time considering the social tragedy we live in
our daily lives, the crazy tension of living between the medieval and
ultra-modern times and praxis.
For me, considering my "nanogenesis", the worth was witnessing the
emergence of consciousness in my daughters (11 and 13 years old), on
the possibility of the social collective action aiming to transform
the immediately given even with different motives and interests.
For those who believe that from first neighbor interaction could
emerge on long range interactions and on phase system?s transitions, I
think that all of this could be the start of something different from
the sameness and hopelessness our people were living.
Best for all, Cristiano.

Quoting "Andy Blunden" <ablunden@mira.net>:
For sure, Achilles, we cannot at all see the "unit of analysis" or
"germ cell" of this movement, or what project(s) will emerge from
it. I suspect that will take some time before that is discernible.
In ascending from the concrete of perception to the abstract, we at
least can see here a glimpse of the enormous diversity of views and
situations which are activated by the protest originally against the
rise in bus fares!
Watch this space!! :)

Sure. But this is only a little elementary fragment of the whole,
not necessarily a unit... I guess the unit is not the
undiscriminated topics of the agenda, itself. But the contradiction
between this first character against a (explicit or not) trying of
political conduction of all (which is also in process of
polarization)...

I think everyone on this list will appreciate this glimpse into
the consciousness of the current movement in Brazil.
