OWS isn't a Relevant Movement to Change Society and May Hurt Us More then It Helps Us

136. So what has the recall movement really done? Last time I looked.......

Scott Walker was still governor, the WI legislature was still in Republican hands and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, all of those anti worker laws that were passed WERE STILL ON THE BOOKS. And that WI movement is at least 6 months older than the Occupy movement. So what exactly has the "Recall movement" changed in an entire year? This is not meant to put down the Wisconsin efforts, but if you're going to glorify the recalls and compare it to Occupy, you've got to use the same criteria for judging it.

I stress again, this is not to denigrate the WI struggle. It was an important precursor to the Occupy movement itself. It just bogged itself down in electoral politics and specificity of issues. It didn't address the OVERALL and SYSTEMIC problem like Occupy did. I consider Occupy to be the next logical step AFTER Wisconsin.
