I agree that it’s fair to applaud people taking action which is essentially democratic and anti-capitalist.There are problems though as posters are outlining. What do the Occupiers want, and who are they going to place their trust in to guarantee them these things, whatever they are? If the 1% (bankers) are the problem, what about the ethical buying top man from Marks & Spencers, sourcing cotton from non-sweatshops (he also does voluntary work for the poor and is in a prayer group) – I guess it’s harder to be indignado at some capitalists. Occupying. I was under the impression that the Working Class already occupied the overwhelming majority of this country/world. We certainly occupy all the factories, schools, bank branches, RAF Squadrons, docks, car parks – We even have the alarm codes and keys to all the financial institutions, if we really want to focus on that enemy. It’s hardly the CEOs who turn up first thing in the morning and open the places up.Occupy London? Thanks, we already have it. We have the keys. Now what?
