I know the original goals of removing corporate involvement in govt, no more lobbyists, etc. but then there are the people claiming OWS is a movement for a whole new govt system, though specifics aren't given. and lastly, there are the protesters with demands of all debts forgiven, universal single-provider healthcare, highly reduced education costs..
what's the real goal here?
The original goals are still the main goals in my mind. Everything else just sounds like people who don't have experience in politics or economics trying to figure out solutions even if they aren't realistic.
The main goal has always been clear and has always been stated on the main page of this website:

end corporate oligarchy. create genuine democracy. its too large and too many problems to pin down just yet, thats why it needs to get organized on the wiki.

I have been active here since the very beginning, and since the very beginning I have been trying to make some core points. These points clearly have not been digested or fully understood by the mob, and so I'm going to try to make a further attempt here again.
For these reasons, I beg of you to please immediately join me on the wiki. We need to have all of these details and all of these ideas put together in an organized fashion, rather than posted in a long scrawl which will never be read.
