No Surprise: Occupy Movement is Largely Socialist, Marxist

17. October 2011

0 Comments

And for some reason the media’s not covering this. Oh, right, because they’re helping coordinate it. The standard portrayal of the Wall Street protesters goes something like this: Ragtag group of unemployed young adults, venting often incoherent but overall legitimate populist outrage about economic inequality.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” — Ronald Reagan, 1981 Voters aren’t buying the international Marxist spin that capitalism is to blame for all of our problems. Who’s to blame? Our incompetent, business-ignorant federal government.  In the minds of likely voters, Washington, not Wall Street, [...]

Karl makes the point I’ve been pushing for a few days now: It’s time for everyone to calm down about Barack Obama’s fundraising in the last quarter.

They’d show up for any other extreme-left rally next week if asked. They’re radical, anti-American leftists seeking to replace our capitalist system with a socialist one. They reek of the same radical, [...]

How are they going to build a $100 million, multi-story mosque if they can’t even pay the $1.7 million they owe in back rent to Con Ed? Actually, they’ll probably get some big government-backed grant or loan, you know to encourage diversity at taxpayer expense, or something. Pay up or get out. Con Ed has [...]
