The problem with Occupy was that there was no demanded reforms, only complaints and protests against things. Protests aren't ever enough though.
It is telling how little credibility Occupy had with Washington when Obama, giving his jobs speech during the protests, called for the deregulation of Wall St.
- pdkl95 13y agoWhile Occupy DID make some demands; they were just made by the individual groups. It would be more correct, though, to say that "demands" weren't really the point of Occupy. They changed the national dialogue, and made a LOT of traditional euphamisms and arguments obsolete and useless by putting the core issue of class warfare back up in front where it belongs. "Cutting out decades of distraction an propaganda" may not have been an explicit "goal", but it was certainly a victory for the movement.
