Slavoj is a communist asshole who thinks the problem is the system and not greed. Just change the system? How stupid can you get? But...BUT! the 99% includes a shitload of people with a variety of political ideas and some of those ideas will piss us off....so what? THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL MOVEMENT! I wish I could write that in a bigger font.
It is about making a course correction in the laws of our country that allow corporations to do just about whatever they want. Democracy is a fine system and does not need to be replaced with some mystical socialistic bullshit. What needs to be done is replace the laws which allow corporations to ruin our economy...such as giving corporations the status of being a 'person'. Greed is the problem and fertilized by the politicians who are in the pockets of corporations and special interest.
This is going to be a long tough road. Will those weak in the knees please get the hell out of the way. If you're going to shit your pants because a communist spoke at an OWS rally what the hell are you going to do when everything becomes a nightmare of a steady procession of protesters being beaten and put into jail. All the damn posting here is not going to stop that. No one is going to come out of this without scars.
Most of this forum is composed of people playing a game called Mental Masturbation. There will come a time when the game playing is over and the nightmare begins. "If you cannot handle the heat get the hell out of the kitchen."
This movement requires courage under an assault of all kinds of crap. Right now it is just verbal crap.....eventually it will get really ugly.....will you still be standing? What? you were expecting that we would all sit down and play nice? That we would not have to tolerate assholes jumping onto the band wagon like Slavoj or Unions, or politicians!
I'm here for the long haul and I don't give a shit what asshole wants to jump on the band wagon. I and others like me will boot them off.
It's about the fact that virtually everybody in America knows things have become unfair and we weren't raised to believe that's ok in the richest, free-est country in the world.
It's not the job of the protesters to figure out how to solve the problems. It's their "job" to let the politicians know that something's wrong. It's the job of the politicians to figure out how to solve it.
I agree that it's the job of the politicians (well, their staff usually)
please provide some feedback here -> http://occupywallst.org/forum/the-amorphous-message-is-the-message/ and help it stay afloat ;)
There is always the risk of extreme leftist groups exploiting the frustration of the people to turn them against the "evil" rich people. I am always wary of getting support from moveon, the unions and the like.
