To draw any analogy between a long standing political party like the GOP that has all the power and wealth of the entire 1% behind it, and a ragtag bohemian fledgling democratic movement like OWS is unreasonable. The GOP has every status quo means at their disposable to create public opinion.

How is OWS running 180 degees from Dems? OWS is espousing and promoting the long standing traditional essential ideology of the Democratic Party, the core principle of supporting the 99% over the 1%, a principle that has all but been abandoened since the DLC/Third Way co-opted the party.

If you believe that OWS, with its unquestionable pro labor, pro human rights, pro-regulation of corporations, etc, is running 180 degrees from the Democratic party, then what does the Democratic Party now stand for in your estimation? All that is left is representation of wealth and commercial interests, the same agenda that the GOP has.

It is entirely reasonable to believe that the folks in Wisconsin, and OWS, were part of the reason for the widespread gains by labor and the Dems in the last election. It is not unreasonable to believe that the same could hold true for the elections of 2012, due to the anti-1% national dialogue created by labor and Dems in Wisconsin and OWS. Dems will get collateral benefit from OWS without OWS having to adopt a political position.

OWS is the complete total natural antithesis of the GOP. Everything they do and stand for are the very things we are trying to eliminate.

It's a complete shame that the Democratic party does not adopt this position to counteract the GOP and the 1%. We wouldn't be forced into doing their job for them if they did.

The 1% will not have to embrace social or economic justice, we already know that they will never do this under any circumstances. That's the reason they took over the government. So that they could have total control. .

That's why OWS came into being. We are going to non-violently remove the 1% from any position of control through the sheer power of numbers. There are billions of us, and only a few thousand of them. They will be forced to voluntarily abdicate their position of power if it comes down to it. Does the name "Custer" mean anything to you? Their criminal co-opting of our government and of our ability to govern ourselves gives us the absolute right to stop them by any non-violent means we find necessary. They have assumed illegitimate power over our government and our destinies, and it is our natural right to employ whatever methods we find necessary to regain our rights and abilities to determine our own destinies, lives, liberties, and pursuits of happiness.

The law making process is broken. Congress is controlled by the 1% and will never take any effective measures whatsoever to redress our grievances.

We are either going to have to force them to redress our grievances through direct action and subsequent egalitarian negotiations, or create an alternative system that will eventually supplant existing government.

Like the colonists that fought off the British in our War for Independence, the exact circumstances under which our grievances will at last be redressed are unknowable. But we do know that the status quo is unacceptable, and that it is a hopeless case.

Things have to change, and we are going to change them come hell or high water.

There is no other option. It's literally a matter of the survival of the planet.
