The other purpose, of course, is to talk to members of the public and spread the word, and idea of factory occupations as a form of action. Protest might be futile, but resistance alone without awareness raising fluffy events is pretty futile too...
Re: the slogan Occupy, Resist, Produce - in case anyone doesn't know this comes from the Argentinian movement of Dec 2001 - Present, where in response to economic collapse and the flight of rich managers and associated closure of factories, hundreds of businesses from factories to health clinics have been taken over as worker coops and successfully managed as such for, well, 7+ years. The film 'The Take' by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis is worth a watch (and half of it was shown outside the factory using the Bicycolohy pedal-powered cinema (with subtitles read out by a willing assistant for the benefit of the occupiers...)
Glad you liked it. I'll post it up below...
