- gcr 2y agoNow now, OP never implied that Occupy Wall Street was effective. :-) If anything, it points to the stark lack of class consciousness in America that even our biggest protests aren't generally able to create long lasting change. Personally, I'm reminded of MLK's Poor People Campaign shortly before he got FBI'd. Him and the black panthers were both trying to agitate around this issue in different nonpartisan ways, and they faced extreme prejudice from the state for their trouble.
