You don't want to miss this eye-opener just published on "Counterpunch"...
http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/10/14/an-insidious-threat-to-the-occupy-movement/
Two pithy excerpts:
"I am referring to the threat of preemption, or cooptation, posed by the Democratic Party and union officials. In light of their unsavory record of undermining the revolutionary energy of social movements, projections of sympathy for the anti-Wall Street protesters by the White House, the Democratic Party officials and union leaders can be viewed only with suspicion."
"One can only hope that the Occupy Movement is armed with the knowledge of the Democratic Party’s record of COOPTATION AND BETRAYAL of radical movements; and will therefore chart a political movement of the working people and other grassroots independent of both parties of big business."
thank you
