Occupy Wallstreet
Well since I don't see anything going on in the debate thread about this I think this is a good place to post.
So what is everyone's position on this? I for one fully support this movement. For to long have the 1% dominated our world. Some may think of me as anti-capitalist, but you know what when the system allows for such injustices to happen maybe its time that the rules changed.

Well, I'll support it as soon as someone can demonstrate a system that doesn't fall into Unstable Equilibrium.

The current system is indeed pretty terrible.

I think anyone who claims to be communist should first live in North Korea for a year - odds are they'd abandon that idea.

Re-quoting my friend here, mainly because he summed up my feelings well.
"If one thinks of "Free Markets" as completely free then that is the same as having no government or anarchy. As we have evolved and we spend more time in groups we realize we must have rules to ensure that one person's freedom does not diminish another person's freedom. To ensure justice. Our economic systems have become extremely complex and require more rules to ensure justice. If more rules to ensure justice are anti-capitalist, then that is exactly what we need."

North Korea is not Communism!
 And re the original topic: Thumbs up for Occupy Wallstreet. Innovative protests! If they will be effective - we'll see. But I like them

Yes, it is. Just like Soviet Russia, and Communist China (they've actually managed to get all the negatives of capitalism AND communism all blended into one) The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Communists are the very definition of insane.

 I'm all for the Occupy movements, not just in Wall St but the ones sprouting throughout the globe. People are realising that they don't have to keep bailing all these banks out and they can voice their indignation publically to both their own government and the world that this doesn't have to be the way things are. Plus the whole concentration of the battle of the working and ruling class is used by both communists and socialists.
