First is was
occupy Greece.
Then it was
occupy Wall Street.
Now it is
Occupy Champaign-Urbana.
While the TEA Party was interesting and effective, I
have serious reservations about the potential of Occupy America. First, the premise is nothing new. [I believe] the protesters
know believe that the only way to abolish capitalist inequalities is to have the working class, who collectively constitute the main producer of wealth in society, and who are perpetually exploited by the wealthy class, to overthrow the capitalist system in a wide-ranging social revolution. Occupy Wall Street is just another page in the book called 'The Same Ol' Same Ol'.
I think the most effective way of protesting the banks and corporate evils would be boycott banks and stop buying those pretty little Mac Books that are Designed in California, but manufactured in China. Ok, ok, let's get real.
Michael Moore points out that corporations are
sitting on huge stockpiles cash. What better way to encourage them to invest their money than to promote further instability and uncertainty. Those behind the Occupy America concept are standing by their "brothers and sisters" in Greece and hoping to bring that here to America. These people are absolutely crazy if they think "the 99%" want more instability and uncertainty and should not be surprised when this backfires.
