Occupy Movement.

A lot of people think that the Occupy Movement world-wide is a 'leftists' revolutionary attempt to overthrow capitalism full stop. I disagree.


I don't think this is a confrontation or even an argument between left and right political beliefs. This is between 'up' and 'down' - 'top' and 'bottom'. In fact, judging by the Occupy movement in America and here in the UK left and/or right political leanings are being synthesised in this. It's the gross, 'rub your noses in it' huge injustice of a system that rewards both greed and failure that's at the heart of this. Banks are the only institutions on the face of the earth that are allowed to personalise their profits but socialise their losses.

Lots of people, mainly because of the propaganda being spewed out by the Daily Mail, the Sun and the rest of the gutter press paints the protesters as, let's face it, the scum of humanity. Much the same as they try to paint the strike against pensions robbing to help repay the debt their bankster friends have caused. They're not though. Most are just ordinary people who have had enough. And now even some conservative economists are joining the throng.

People world-wide have had enough, and when you now have a EU country (Italy) being led by an unelected representative of Goldman Sachs (a bank that caused so much of this crisis in the first place) it illustrates the point perfectly. They are high-jacking our democracies.
