Has ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Been Sucked Into A Global Socialist Movement?




By

Based on a well-produced video circulating around the Internet, it appears that Occupy Wall Street is now officially part of a global push towards Socialism.




This video makes connections between the Occupy Wall Street protests and:
Uprisings in Tunsia and Egypt – both countries where a “President” had been ruling those countries for 21 years and 30 years, respectively.
Riots in Greece sparked by talks of austerity and needed financial reforms in reaction to unsustainable social programs.
Do the American protesters want the same things as the people in Tunisia and Egypt demanded? If so, do they realize that means that they want the government removed and replaced?

The 15october.net group behind this video makes no bones about what they want. And while it may be too late for the Wall Street protesters to avoid being lumped in with this organization, they should know what the 15october group is really asking for.




Their intentions are posted online for all to see.


Consider just two from their list of five demands:

Faced with this material and existential precarity we demand the democratization of the economic system  and European governance.  This will allow the construction of a new economic model of social welfare based on two aspects: the guarantee of an unconditional access to income (basic income for everybody) and the effective and free access to social rights and common wealth (education, health care, housing, knowledge, environment).

Do the people occupying Wall Street really want -”the guarantee of an unconditional access to income (basic income for everybody) and the effective and free access to social rights and common wealth (education, health care, housing, knowledge, environment)?”


Sign From Occupy Wall Street


Sophie:   I've found a longer and more disturbing version of the video:






More "patriotism" on display at Occupy Portland....




"Fuck the USA!"
