ABSTRACT: The recent years have witnessed a wide array of popular movements such as the Yellow Vest movement, Black Lives Matter, Climate emergency protest, Extinction Rebel blockade, and other movements. What is problematic is that these movements cannot achieve their objectives, without a radical reorganisation of society. The factor that led to the decline of these movements shared a semblance with the Occupy Movement. This paper analyses the fall of the Occupy Movement and the missing lessons that were obscured in the literature to highlight the fundamental challenges that undermine contemporary movements and draw useful lessons that can foster the success of contemporary and future popular movements.
