NOTE: I am not an Occupy supporter. I am only posting these links for those who are interested in understanding where Occupy is coming from. It's an introductory lesson before you start arguing for or against Occupy.
Many on these boards criticize or support Occupy without knowing what it is. If you just got here and want to learn more about the founders of Occupy and what this movement is all about, here are some links to must read articles. Read them all in order. (The first one is on an anarchist website, but it was originally featured in Business Week)
