On October 15, 2011, a group sets up an encampment, after international example, on the Beursplein in Amsterdam: Occupy Amsterdam. For two months activists from all walks of life camp on the square. A spontaneous protest without leaders or program. Occupy becomes familiar, in the Netherlands too, but two years later not much seems to be left of the willingness to take action. Does that show the activists were mistaken, or did we simply not want to listen to them?
