My observation of this movement(in the OWS iteration) is that it is more about discussion than about action. Although there is a form of rebellion against broken systems, spurred by economic conditions, acts of protest come secondary to the debate of "what next."
In the same way that we embark upon exploratory or research projects, this movement casts a broad net to educate people and find consensus, rather than seeking hotbutton issues and partisan politics. In that light, the idealistic, open-ended messages are actually extremely powerful, as they are invitations to join and learn means of accomplishing the goals.
I see it as Endless September, version 2.0.
