[butterfly77]

12. The media is trying to hide this...

I spent some time the other day trying to find OCCUPY DC. I can't wait until they Occupy K street and all of their favorite places,no comfort for these lying ass ---------------.

These congressmen and senators don't know a damn thing about America they believe that phony bullshit they say each time they hit the microphones with the fake ass media who want to make the news not report it..

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. The rich always send police to break up emergent subculture

...because they can't risk anything existing which could obsolete their power.

[socialist_n_TN]

18. That's EXACTLY why they can't allow any REAL socialist

governmental structure to exist ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. And no, I'm NOT talking about the deformed worker's state that was Stalinism. Any true bottom up socialist governing paradigm would "obsolete their power". Even Stalinism had to be fought tooth and nail because it, at least, paid lip service to worker control of the economy.
