"OWS in Danger: Socialist Groups Aim to Hijack Movement"
Oh for fuck sake! Looks like that lunatic Alex Jones is trying to co-opt OWS to advance his agendas. He seems to want people to think this is a occupy the fed only movement.



Socialists begin calling shots

On October 2, the New York City branch of Socialist Alternative said it will work to “spread the occupations across the U.S. and into schools and communities” and organize demonstrations calling for a massive government deficit spending and an increase in taxes on “the super-rich and big business,” a move that will ensure more jobs leave the country and more Americans will become destitute.

Socialist Alternative and their comrades now moving to hijack OWS have declared they want a “movement to replace the rotten system of capitalism with democratic socialism and create a new society based on human need.”

So-called democratic socialism has never worked. In Russia and China, socialism fostered communist dictatorships that ultimately killed tens of millions of people. China still claims to be communist as it serves as a slave labor gulag churning out products for transnational globalists.

As we have noted numerous times, socialism was created by the international bankers as a control mechanism.

Threat to End the Fed

Socialists and communists are notorious for purging their ranks of people who do not agree with them. They are known to physically assault opponents who stand in the way of their quest for political power.

Here's what one of his follower's comments from the comment section.


Idiots, morons, and jackasses – Jews are the enemy? Wake up you fools!! Did you not read the article that you’re commenting on? The enemy is at the gates with a battering ram and the gates are about to be breached. The enemy is communism and it shows no mercy to both Anglo nor Jew. This country is at the precipice of absolute tyranny and you’re worried about the false monster of Jewish bankers? When the hell was the last time that you heard of a cabal of Jewish bankers dropping tens of thousands of citizens of any country into mass graves with a bullet to the back of the head?

This website has become a joke because of all of the paranoid antisemitic tripe And if the communists do take over I hope that your deaths, and you will be killed, will have meaning. As for me I will fight and I and others like me will be victorious .

2. There are socialists and communists among us?
Well I never!

I was stuck behind an End the Fed guy on the 5th in San Francisco, but I mightily resisted the urge to purge him and just walked ahead of him. As far as I know, he is still among the living.

8. For the benefit of the humor impared
By purge, you mean asking him politely to leave the demonstration, as opposed to commiting an act of violence? The comment "As far as I know, he is still among the living" might be misunderstood as an advocacy of political violence.

9. It was sarcasm.
I'm a communist and wouldn't dream of harming a hair on his oddly Zappa-esque hairdo. Libertarians are a self-important and dramatic bunch. My post was a comment on this extreme self-absorption. No one really notices them and they will swiftly pass into the same disrepute that happily dogs the LaRouchians. No purging necessary.

11. You could have stolen a page from Mao's book (Little Red) and
forced him to show you the callouses on his hands :)

13. I'd be afraid to find out what those callouses were from, in his case.
:D

3. Is there any better banker rhetoric than "banks created socialism, so destroy socialism?"
I mean, really. The idea that banks created socialists to try to overthrow them and seize them is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I prefer the meme: Alex Jones is a CIA agent.

7. Egads!
Socialists and communists and bears, oh my!

:eyes:

Sounds typical of Alex Jones. Note: If you try to understand him, you'll get a headache, guaranteed. He's full of shit. Trying to understand any right winger is a guaranteed headache. No logic governs their "thought" processes, ya know.

15. Take Over?
OK, let's assume the 20 or 30 members of Socialist Alternative are attempting to take over the OWS movement because they believe they have the best ideas to address the greed of rampant crony capitalism.

How do they plan to accomplish this "take over"? By physical force? By extortion; by financial trickery; by taking control of the supply of organic food? No. Even if we take Alex seriously (it's hard to do that, I know) the tactics that Socialist Alternative will employ will be talking to OWS folks about their ideas, bringing their own signs and banners to marches, maybe handing out flyers or other propaganda, inviting people to meetings sponsored by their group, etc.

If their message makes sense, people will listen and maybe join their small organization. If not, they won't. It's sort of "if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, ....."

I think Alex Jones, Herman Cain and others of their ilk will get increasingly hysterical as the OWS movement grows. They'll use all the nasty smear tactics that the right wing always uses to discredit progressive campaigns. Don't fall for it.

16. I'll never understand this...
...a move that will ensure more jobs leave the country and more Americans will become destitute.

This describes the results of "Trickle Down" and the Bush tax cuts! Trickle down and the Bush tax cuts (not to mention senseless wars) are the real reason Americans are suffering...

I amazes me how folks like Alex Jones can project like this...
