Why would anybody who isn't a right-wing greedhead WANT OWS gone?

82. I believe the main reason the occupy movement is leaderless...

Is that it doesn't give the opposition a 'hard target'. I watched a documentary on it that was very biased against the movement. The documentary showed Michael Moore give a speech and then it tore him down. It showed a union rep, then it tore him down.

Just like any organization with leaders that oppose 'the monied', if there was a leader the organization would spend more time defending its leader than taking on issues.

I don't think 'occupy' accomplished as much as others here do, and I can see how the perception of 'a bunch of people just sitting around' could be arrived at. However, the original Boston Tea-Party happened quite a few years before the American revolution, and it takes a little while for disgruntled citizens to decide what it is that they are going to do. I look forward to watching it develop in the years to come. I don't have any problem with people utilizing space that is set aside for sitting around - just sitting around.

It is going to take longer for the 'mission' of the various occupy movements to gel into something that everyone can get behind. The main reason that it will take a while is because it must remain a leaderless movement for the reasons I listed above.

Obviously it has been more effective in some areas than others, but I expect there is a correlation with how badly the places needed intervention and how effective the intervention was. Regardless, if some techniques have been used successfully in one place; the techniques can be mimicked in other places.

I hope occupy keeps fighting the fight.
