    That’s what the Occupy Wallstreet was supposed to be all those years ago. Anything that can create real change in the class war will be stomped out by the ruling class.

      Occupy Wallstreet was a disorganized mess that couldn’t focus on a clear goal, and collapsed upon itself as a result.

        It collapsed when the Obama administration coordinated with the banks and local police to orchestrate a simultaneous, nationwide crackdown, complete with flagrant 4th amendment abuses and torture of detainees. I reminder from watching numerous live feeds from around the country as it unfolded.

        The police department here in Madison, WI didn’t participate, so Occupy Madison still exists, and has morphed into a tiny house community.

        You’re not remembering it accurately. It was purposely disorganized in that there wasn’t a defined leader and everything was done through direct democracy. It collapsed under planted cops that incited riots so that riot police could break up encampments.
