Thomas Frank: Why Occupy failed and how it's more like the Tea Party than anyone wants to admit

It's about relevancy, which is a major theme throughout Frank's review. Part of the problem as he sees it is that Occupy was far too concerned with Theory (notice the capital T) and not enough on practical efforts which might have a profound impact on not just the lives of the protesters but of all workers.

Of course, you might say Frank is engaging in the same sort of irrelevancy by publishing in a small literary magazine. It is however his literary magazine, which happens to regularly feature one of the original organizers of Occupy, and an anarchist -- David Graeber -- on its masthead.

BTW: Thanks for actually engaging with the substance of Frank's review.
