MIB,

My issue with OWS is that they were organized and founded by ardent anti-capitalists, labor unions, and communists/socialists. Since then, they've deliberate made their goals and demands as unclear as possible, in order to attract as much support as they can. That's why it's easy to be against stuff, but hard to be for it. It's easy to yell "DOWN WITH CORPORATIONS AND THE RICH AND SUCH" but when you start suggesting specific actions the flaws in your ideology become much more pronounced. An anti-corporate anti-banking message has some appeal to some of the libertarians out there and has attracted many to attend some of these rallies.

As far as I can tell, most of them leave pretty disappointed. They go, hoping they'll be able to find common ground on things like opposing the federal reserve, or opposing the wars, or stuff like that. But the overwhelming majority of these people are just the same brainwashed socialists who just want Obama to be re-elected.
