(11,481 posts)go away. It might morph (I actually hope it does morph into something more like Occupy Oakland, a militant group joining hands with the working class to REALLY fuck with their money), but as long as this kind of economic inequity exists, Occupy will exist AND grow.
As I've always said, the best recruiter for Marxism is the capitalist system itself. Because they won't change, this economic INJUSTICE will just keep growing.
BTW for the doubters, the Occupy movement has generated a LOT of discussion for a social movement that's less than 4 months old. There was an article in the Tennessean about Occupy Nashville today. One of several that have been on the front page in this red state newspaper over the last few months. As several posters have pointed out, at least we're not TALKING about only cuts in services now. We're talking about the reasons BEHIND those cuts. That's a LOT of progress for that short of a time frame.
