Fault Lines – Occupy Wall Street: Surviving the Winter

Yves Smith reposts a viedo from Al Jazeera about the Fault Lines – Occupy Wall Street: Surviving the Winter.

Even if the camps were cleared, it’s clear that Occupy considered as a movement changed the discourse to include 7ldquo;income inequality” (class), has not (perhaps not yet) been co-opted, has not (perhaps not yet) been successfully demonized by our famously free press, and has also built up social capital, and not in bowling leagues or rotisserie baseball, either.

There is a conflict between the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and the unions. The report sees the tension between organised activities of unions and the free-wheeling politics of the OWS.

The overall aim of the OWS people interviewed is reformist. They are hoping to influence the current system without understanding the class nature.
