Coincidentally it also seems the same people in media, business and politics who were bothered so much by OWS are also bothered by the success of the Sanders campaign. Hmmmm.

The Sanders campaign is only one of them -- and the most nearly mainstream.

But at its core, OWS was more anarchist than it was socialist or democratic socialist. And it has planted many seeds that have yet to hatch out.
