Whether it's Occupy or something MORE radical and stronger, it's not going away. As you said, unless the ISSUES that raised the Occupy movement are addressed, it can and will only grow. And since I don't expect the 1% to give anything (unless they are forced to), it's inevitable that the economic justice and democracy movement will ONLY grow.
