13. There's a good chance that they will fold into the Dem party

-- at least that is the concern of many who want to stay on the 'outside' and change the system that way. The problem is that may not be very realistic given how entrenched big money is within the political system. The Occupiers and the May Day marchers have to realise their goals aren't separate; this is a global movement.
