Occupy Wall Street Movement Is a Year Old: Did it Change Anything?

The entire paradigm of "non-violent" protest is a proven failure. Protest ONLY matters IF the people have the RAGE and WEAPONS to back their displeasure. There is a reason why Dr. MLK has been whitewashed and packaged into this ultra-pacifist who only preached flowery sermons of, "I Have A Dream..." There is a reason why the Elites saturated the public conscience with Gandhi and his passive approach to tyranny. An approach that ONLY worked in India and ONLY because the British Empire was exhausted from two world wars.

The entire Occupy movement was a pathetic attempt to merge the pseudo-pacifism of 1960's with the New Age group-think of today and belive that public posturing and "love" will defeat Wall Street. Certain talk show hosts get the people all whipped up in anger but then pull in their claws and saying that it's all about "infowars" and "standing up" and "running for city council" and other useless platitudes that avoids the real solution.

The ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY time that Elites and their legates EVER responded to public anger was when their lives were taken by force as punishment for their wickedness! The bloody fights and strikes of union labor in the early 1900's laid the foundation to make possible what we used to enjoy. Some of those thing we still (barely) have, like 40hr work weeks, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment, food stamps, SCHIP, traditional pensions, are declining rapidly. It wasn't Dr MLK that the Elites feared but Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael! Not ONE white elite would DARE take on Louis Farrakhan today in a moderated debate! Too bad whites are so castrated that we FEAR adopting our own version of those civil rights fighters for ourselves albeit for a class-based struggle against the 1%

We The Slaves KNOW that there is no Due Process remaining and that The System will NEVER allow us to regain control peacefully. We KNOW it will take 10,000 Robespierres and 10,000 guillotines to cleanse us of the elite parasites. Problem is that, unlike the French and American Revolutions, we do not have the repository of Great Minds to call on to guide us in such an overhaul and restoration. The 99% don't know about the Magna Carta, Peace of Westphalia, Social Contract, U.S. Constitution, abolition of corporal slavery, and the New Deal. The last one which never reached its perfection because FDR did not live to see his Economic Bill of Rights introduced into Congress; let alone be signed into law. The U.S. would have achieved what mankind has sought for centuries had FDR's Economic Bill of Rights been codified. We would have been the America our ancestors longed to see instead of the disgusting tyrannical toilet we've become.

Occupy deserves nothing but CONTEMPT and SCORN for its fecklessness. I suppose it MIGHT be possible to replicate what has been done by Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA Bloc in Greece. Instead of pathetic posing, an American version of SYRIZA would have clear class-based DEMANDS and a PROGRAM that restores what's been robbed from us over the past 30-40 years. All of that requires the American Lumpenproletariat to be knowledgeable and AWARE about a great many historical things in order for such a movement to live and breathe. But, our social fabric is not woven to carry such conversations amongst ourselves and, BTW, Dancing With The Stars will be on! I'll let Sean Hannity worry about Occupy for me!
