i wouldn't tar the whole of Occupy with the same brush but there is a definite trend of so-called working groups appearing to represent Occupy opinion. I have no idea just under what authority of the general assemblies they have to speak for Occupy as a whole.I think we were worried about the undemocratic entryism of Trots into Occupy but it seems that the economists are more successful in providing Occupy with a reformist direction. The crisis was avoidable and is also solvable, just change the rules of the stockmarket and some banking legislation and, hey presto, we end inequality and poverty. A return to the American Dream. Capitalism is being presented as a system that can be tamed rather than economic system which is inherently unstable and chaotic. Changes such as retrrn to Glass-Steagall or a Volckner Rule are called for as if would have managed to stop past recessions…the Dot Com Bubble, the Asian Tiger Bubble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_slumpWhile some in Occupy demand a capitalism without crisis we must emphasis that capitalism causes hunger death and pestilence… it is the system that unleashes the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. The exploitative nature of capitalism has to be repeated ad nauseum.At times, i wish i had the academic technical skill to refute particular reforms.
