To those who wish this to be some kind of Marxist revolt and walk around with signs saying "Stop Capitalism" you need to realize something. You're playing right into their hands.
That's why Wall St. is laughing at you.
They want to destroy Capitalism, too. They know the system's coming down and they love it.
Why? You may ask. In order to impose a new modern form of Feudalism.
You need to get your head straight if you want to fight this enemy. The first course of action is to reinstate Glass-Steagall NOW. That is the first NECESSARY step. Anything less and you're actually helping them.
You need to clear your head.
This isn't Capitalism vs. Communism. It's Civilization vs. Medieval Feudalism. If you don't recognize this fact you don't understand the fight you're actually in.
Marxists don't realize they're talking about spherical cows. That's why communism hasn't worked, doesn't work, and never will work as long as humans are making the decisions.

It's all about the power abuses stemming from resources pooling into a few hands, whether it's a few corporations, or the party committee.
"Communism versus Capitalism" is a lie. When you confront a lot of socialists with history from Russia and China, they'll say that's not their idea of communism. Well what we have in America now is not our idea of capitalism. The system we want is one where 1) Anybody can work 2) To succeed and get ahead 3) On an even playing field with everybody else. So real capitalism in our sense of the word is a system where we guarantee near zero unemployment and guarantee a living wage and guarantee that monopolies and trusts won't dominate the system, as positive rights. We do this by guaranteeing the right to make money with limitations on making money - i.e. we tax the very wealthy, and use the money to ensure that jobs are created and labor is respected. (I would suggest introducing a tax on corporate earnings and dispensing all the collected money as a per-job subsidy to the same corporations from which it is taken) We can accomplish the ideal goal of socialism - guaranteeing the necessities of life - without doing anything more ideologically oppressive than the taxes we all currently suffer.
