Reply #44: They are successful just the way they are... leaderless and w no hiearchy

[firehorse]

I'm really thinking those who post here wanting the movement to have leaders and pick politicians are right wing infiltrators.

The tea party picked 2 leaders. One got absorbed into the bigger republican base. The other wanted to stay a 3rd party. Once they created leaders and hierarchies it caused internal fracturing. If the OWS starts emulating failure methods of other movements or politics they are doomed.

It's successful the way it is, as every occupy movement springs up and brings awareness giving birth to more occupations. The organic method in the way it is currently operating is a brilliant success. They are the news now. They are whats going on. Politicians are reacting to them, the reactions by the police and mayors are bringing on more identification with the rest of the 99%.

Only a 1%er would want this movement to be contained with leaders.
