What a nasty little piece of business. Created by disruptors, I'm sure.

6. Disruptors?
LOL that is what the OWS is. Why do you think some have been hauled off to jail. To occupy! This isn't disrupting at all. It's non political that is it's message. Your post is however disrupting.

4. NOTICE how they didn't put Socialists on there. It's wsws propaganda.
What that poster doesn't note is that probably 70%+ are actually Liberals and Progressives.

10. Apparently to WSWSers, it's about advancing their political leanings. Otherwise they would have...
...included themselves on their "egalitarian" poster.

14. You miss the point. OWS is not about your political leanings.
It's about equality. It's about the 99% should have the majority say. This sort of response make it difficult to come together to get anything accomplished.

17. Dumbest post of the day. Paranoid much? WSWS are communists. Socialism to a Trotskyist is communist.
No WSWS member would ever say they are not communists. WSWS is part of the 4th International (the COMMUNIST international). To all Leninists, socialism is the period that happens before communism which occurs after the withering away of the state. Leninists fight for socialism meaning that they believe we can't immediately move to communism, but communism is the end goal.

Paranoid much, McCarthy?

Edited on Sun Oct-09-11 01:56 PM by FarLeftFist
Have seen it with my own eyes. What's paranoid about stating the truth that this is Socialist propaganda?! IT IS. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I'm saying that just like every other left-leaning political party they are there as well trying to up their membership. This poster isn't an "official" statement by the occupiers, it's propaganda printed by one certain individual that obviously doesn't speak for ALL of the occupiers. In my trips down there MOST of the folks I've talked to are Liberals and Progressives.

See here for what I mean: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/oct2011/pers-o08.shtml

That doesn't sound like they are trying to discredit the Libs/Progressives and make it about THEM?

26. Exactly.
There was a socialist interviewed on NPR that sure sounded like he thought he was talking for everyone there. (I don't think he used the word 'socialist', but his message was that OWS was for 'complete redistribution of wealth' to replace capitalism. Showing a completely shallow and irresponsible view of what capitalism is, and what his grand vision would truly mean to actual people.)

12. "PS-Stop using us to SPAM people's Emails for donations to you".
"Much Love, The Occupation".

The daily appeals for funds made me sorry I ever signed a moveon petition.

13. Trust me, these events are CONSTANTLY trying to get co-opted.
The Socialist Party is trying to claim this movement completely, which to be fair, is fine, I understand why they would try. But at the end of the day this is a left-wing movement of all stripes because FOX news has already made OWS it's enemy so the right is staying home. But I would bet when push comes to shove a large majority would identify as Liberals, Progressives, Greens when it comes to voting time.

20. Guess they didn't like the implications of a movement called "The American Fall"
:P

Glad they are being careful not to let anyone label, define or co-opt.
