FIRST PERSON ACCOUNT FROM ISTANBUL: "The comparison between the Gezi Park occupation and the Paris Commune of 1871 is apt. The park is anarchy in its purest form: a tremendous demonstration of human cooperation. There are no laws except a series of “rules” written on a poster of which the only true commandment is “No stones, no clubs.” The park is also notably clean, its thousands of residents picking up after themselves, with reminders not to throw any trash on the ground announced at mealtimes." slog.thestranger/slog/archives/2013/06/07/dispatch-from-istanbul-the-square-and-the-park
