7. From indignation to empowerment
Police violence, derogatory media coverage and
stablishment turn on protesters into Vandals (Brazil),
Chapullers (Turkey) or Perroflautas (Spain). #YoSoy132
(México) is another example. Outrage is the new fuel of
network revolts. Indignation turns into empowerment and
positive emotions such as hope.
10. Collectives identities
Collective identities are common to all
networked revolts of recent years. Identities
that accept remixes and adaptations, such as
15M or Occupy camps. In Brazil many
collective identities from Passe Livre
emerged. The same with #Diren in Turkey.
11. In the revolts in Egypt, the death of blogger Khaled Said became a collective
identity in Facebook fanpages as #Somos KhlaedSaid. In Brazil, the
disappearance of the worker Amarildo Dias de Souza generated (almost) a
collective identity. Left Picture: intervention in avenida Delfim Moreira, in Leblon
(Rio de Janeiro) and residents of Rocinha favela with placard 'Where is Amarildo?'.
#WeAreKhaledSaid, #SomosAmarildo
12. Aggregation
Easy adhesion slogans ("It is not for
twenty cents, it is for rights" (Brazil),
"We are not goods in the hands of
politicians and Bankers" (Spain), "We
are the 99% (Occupy) become a
common divisor. The aggregation of
the mobilization of the network
system dismantles all sorts of
antagonism. The identity (football
fans creating the United Istanbul
event or walking together in São
Paulo), the regional (Rio and Sao
Paulo forgetting grudges), ethnical
(kurdish vs Turkish) or protesters vs
police alliance are examples.
13. Political parties network (competitive)
Lack of interacctions between different communities
(different parties).
Most of central actors are the recognized leaders.
Global Revolt Networks (collaboratives):
Interactions between different communities (ideological,
geographical…)
Central actors are, in general, collective identities.

14. Relationship among PT (Brazilian labour party),
PSDB (right wing Brazilian party), Anonymous
and Passe Livre. A study made by LABIC proved
the endogamy of political parties in Brazil.

20. The study #ProtestoRj of Media Lab at UFRJ (Rio de Janeiro Federal University)
about events in Rio de Janeiro evidenced that mobilization happened thanks to the
"poor nodes" as @catupiry, for their ability to dialogue. Influential groups in the city -
except Anonymous - were irrelevant in the first call.Graph: UFRJ Media LAB

27. Muitxs: Cidade Que Queremos is a citizen front that won two local seats at Belo Horizonte
Some hope
28. Different cities conformed citizen fronts for taking power. Enred.cc (Madrid) was the
first step. La apuesta municipalista (copyleft book) was the virus. GUANYEM
Barcelona created the imaginary and GANEMOS (we win) was the national
shout/shape. After that, the names changed but the 'confluence' format was the trend.
Political party PODEMOS supported the 'confluence' fronts.
Case 2
Spain: from #15M to confluences
29. Most of the campaigns were made almost without budget (crowd funding, donations).
Especially important the citizen campaign made for supporting AhoraMadrid (with
Manuela Carmena as the candidate), that happened eve out of the AhoraMadrid
structure.

31. The post party citizen confluences will almost for sure rule important cities as Madrid (Ahora Madrid),
Barcelona (Barcelona en Comú), Zaragoza (Zaragoza en común), Cádiz (Ganar Cádiz en Común),
A Coruña (Mare Atlántica), Santiago de Compostela (Compostela Aberta), Valencia (Compromís +
Valencia em Común), Terrassa (Terrasa em Comú) or Oviedo (Somos Oviedo), among dozens of
smaller ones. Map: study of the cities that had camp during 15M and political confluence in 2015.

32. From Propongo (15M-Indignados platform) to Decide Madrid (free software participation platform
designed by Madrid 's City Hall)), the hybrid participatory method of the occupied squares is
getting sofisticated. Decide.es has become a political virus: a free software that enables direct
democracy and is alreday being used by 32 cities of regional governments
From grassroots participation to power
34. Madrid City Hall is puttin in the hands of collectives, social movements and citizen dozen of
spaces of the city, for encourage self-organization.
