First it was Oakland, now

First it was Oakland, now it’s Wall St, the police have moved in to clear the protesters. It is an on-going situation and perhaps, hopefully,  like the first failed attempt at Oakland, the police will be forced to withdraw again. However as the WSM wrote previously we cannot be overly optimistic.”What we’re facing is the simple fact that our class enemies hold state power, and will use it, ruthlessly to protect their interests and defend themselves from the threat of democracy. Which is why the Socialist Party argues for the prime importance of taking state power out of their hands.”http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/2010s/2011/no-1277-january-2011/editorial-cold-reality-state-power
