You know....a smart move would be to create twitter accounts that conservatives (anonymous) run to misdirect these people....LOL....get a mass of twitters saying go “here”...or give them mis-information....maybe it’s not possible...just something crazy from my brain today

[upchuck]

Never in living memory has such a small political movement received such disproportionate attention from the press.

Oh, I don't know, how about the queers? Lots of hoop jumping for 5% of less of the population. Even the mighty US Military finds itself on its knees.

[SteveH]

Any hott chicks in the movement??

Enquiring minds and all that... :-P

One is private property. “The civilized order,” Fourier wrote, “is incapable of making a just distribution except in the case of capital,”...

Private property embodies the chains of society that keep man down. As Talmon put it, for the utopian, property is “an instrument of irrational and selfish exploitation...

The utopian’s other great hatred is for middle-class or “bourgeois” culture. Monogamy, monotheism, self-control, prudence, cleanliness, fortitude, self-interested labor​—​these are the utopian’s enemies.

Let me get this straight - if we got rid of over-sexed trust fund babies we would wipe out utopians? Hmmmm, or maybe we could just 'redirect' them?

I see hope here...

[Darren McCarty]

A worldwide movement devoted to undermining the institutions of “neoliberalism”​—​the IMF, World Bank, WTO, EU, NAFTA, G20, central banks​—​gathered force.

I don't like those things either. Globalism sucks.

OWS sucks worse. They aren't about wall street. They are against main street too.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t know, but I like that way you think!!

[reefdiver]

Anarchist, Socialist, Marxists have been around for over 100 years.
This time it's not clicking for them. Democrat City halls are sicing the cops on them.
They are doing it because citizens are exhausted. With Obama, the OWS multiple crimes and the mayors of the large cities know an election is around the corner.
If Conservatives had another outlet, they could, day in and out paint all Donks as supporters of OWS. But we don't. Our party is loaded with rinos. It's currently run by some guy named Reince Priebus.
Is it possible to find a guy with a name that should belong to royalty more than that?
Say what you want about mayonnaise hair, but at least you know Shes alive. Our so called leadership is FLAT. Oh and yes, There will be riots next summer & fall, lots of them. Arm your self and buy a lot of amo. /

"Never in living memory has such a small--and insignificant--political movement received such disproportionate attention from the press."

The Corrupt Press and its corrupt so-called "journalists" obviously identify with filth, decadence, groupthink, mendacity, and intellectual and moral vacuity. (The reason is obvious.)

[prairiebreeze]

good article, bump!

[driftless2]

The conceit behind the philosophy of "freedom" advocated by leftists and anarchists (most anarchists are leftists) is the average person is a "wage slave" because he or she works for another. In their feeble minds, people are unable to breakaway from the chains of working for someone. As if people from time immemorial haven't picked up stakes when things got rotten and moved. Or stayed where they were but made their kind of employment.

Basically, leftists and students think the average person is too stupid to make their own lives. They need guidance from their betters i.e. leftists. Anarchists claim not to want to rule anyone, but by denying the right to personal property, they essentially oppress the average person i.e. the would-be property owner. Totalitarian fascists all of them.

[Carbonsteel]

The anarchist sees no distinction between free enterprise and state socialism. He cannot be happy as long as anyone has more property or power than someone else. “Any consistent anarchist must oppose private ownership of the means of production and the wage-slavery which is a component of this system,” Chomsky writes, “as incompatible with the principle that labor must be freely undertaken and under the control of the producer.” What Chomsky is saying is that you can justly grow your own tomato, but you can never hire anyone else to pick it.

Everyone needs to understand that like so many other groups, modern day Anarchists are simply an arm of the Communists movement. The end goal of Communism is a stateless society where everything and everyone is equal in all things and social justice has been achieved for all. It starts out with a centralization of authority where once the state has leveled the playing field, is supposed to then step aside and that's why Anarchists find Communism so appealing, not realizing that the state will NEVER willingly give up its power. Human nature in itself makes Communism unattainable, but the state keeps trying and it usually involves the mass slaughter of those whom they deem as not seeing eye to eye with their goals. If they feel you can't be reeducated, then you will be exterminated. Imagine these folks in charge on a world wide scale. Communism is estimated to have resulted in the deaths of 150 million in the 20th century alone in just a handful of communists countries. The greatest slaughter is yet to come.

No Communist government has every achieved the perfect and final communist society. At first we heard repeatedly that is was because "the right people haven't been in charge", and now its because Communist nations have had to compete with Capitalist nations. As a result they are attempting to bring about a world wide economic collapse to remold the entire world in one communist super society where Communists no longer have anyone to compete with and they don't care who has to die or how nations have to be wiped out to achieve their grand experiment.

[GeronL]

Gays are easily less than 2% of the population. If that.

[okie01]

Somehow, no communist government has ever gotten past "the dictatorship of the proletariat" and progressed to "the withering away of the state".

Thus, nobody has ever gotten closer to utopia than two steps...

[SaraJohnson]

Your “crazy” brain came up with a good idea. :)

[CaptSkip]

Never in living memory has such a small political movement received such disproportionate attention from the press.

Oh, I don't know, how about the queers? Lots of hoop jumping for 5% of less of the population. Even the mighty US Military finds itself on its knees.

A recent article from the AP (go figure!) based on CDC data, indicate the true number of active gay men in the United States is 2-3% max.

Based on Hollywood and the MSM, you would believe fully 50% of men are gay.

Watched 3 seasons of Glee for the great music, but that show has so 'jumped the shark' as regards the Homosexual Agenda, that the wife and I now fast forward the DVR thru all the silly gay drama to get to the songs...

[Jay Santos CP]

An interesting article. I suppose a fundamental difference between the historic utopia seeking individuals might have been their willingness to work for their plan. These OWS characters simply want it delivered to them.

[businessprofessor]

I agree. OWS is the latest rebirth of Marxism. The goal of OWS is destruction of private property and private property rights so that a new group can control society. The new group would have privileges not shared with the rest of society. The lack of private property rights would allow the new group to retain control.

The rats have become afraid of OWS because the chaos might lead to loss of power. Otherwise, the OWS and Democrats have similar views and goals. Existing Democrats do not want to share power with OWS.

[OddLane]

Brian Doherty has a great book that explores some of these failed utopias in America.

[Talisker]

The end goal of Communism is a stateless society where everything and everyone is equal in all things and social justice has been achieved for all. It starts out with a centralization of authority where once the state has leveled the playing field, is supposed to then step aside...

When I first found this out I was dumbfounded. I couldn't understand how people could be so damned stupid to believe a group of other people who, in the name of freedom, wanted ALL power so that they could then promise to give it up.

I mean, WTF?

Then, when you add to this astoundingly insulting proposition the historical record of 200 million that have been slaughtered precisely by these same communist groups in the last hundred years... the fact that communism is somehow still going strong is beyond comprehension.

That's when I decided that "criminal ignorance" was not an oxymoron, but that it actually exists.

And then, when I realized what kind of creature it would take to BE criminally ignorant... I realized that indeed, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12
