I found this article about Occupy Wall Street and I thought I'd share it. I'll go ahead and point out that near the end the article calls for labor to break from the Democratic party, but that isn't why I posted it. I posted it simply because I found other aspects of the article to be interesting, if I broke any rules, the mods can lock it. Let me know what you think. I thought this section about Occupy Boston was rather interesting:
There is a questioning of the capitalist system that was not present before. This is also an important change. The eyewitness from Boston mentions the kind of questions that are being debated by the people:
“Here are some of the questions that have been raised? What is wrong? How did we get here? Why does this culture spawn corruption? Who created wealth? Why isn’t that wealth shared equally? Why are students going to school in order to gain useless degrees and debts that they can’t pay? Do we all have the right to the necessities of life? And if we do, what will it take to get those necessities? Can the system be reformed? If not, what will it take to make some fundamental change? Is capitalism the best of all possible worlds? Is communism?”
