Those who dismiss OWS as Communism are failing to see the point that Democracy is meant to be a separation of Economic and Political Power. Otherwise a corporate state is the inevitable result of power bases colluding; aristocracies rise and societies become stratified unless there is an equalizer embodied by the rule of law. A polity is a group of people who share equal voice power and select administrative courses of action based on that equal footing.
Agreed - we need stop the corporations and special interests from disenfranchising the American people by getting some real campaign finance reform.
