Former Amalgamated Transit Union local 689 president Mike Golash, now an “Occupy” movement organizer, was caught on tape Sunday revealing his political goals: overthrowing capitalism in the United States and instituting a communist government.
“Progressive labor is a revolutionary communist organization,” Golash said during an Occupy DC “People’s Assembly” on August 19.
“Its objective,” he added, “is to make revolution in the United States, overthrow the capitalist system and build communism.”

Now, now, who is actually going to say that they didn't know this? I think it was/still is quite obvious what the goals are of OWS AND this administration that supports that movement.

Any grassroots movement usually ends up with activists at the top that have their own agenda.
Happened to both the Tea Party and OWS.

Only many of the peons at the bottom don't realize it.

OWS was never grass roots. It is and was always meant to be a way to foment violence and disruption for the very cause described in this article. Did some unsuspecting dummies show up and not know what they were getting in to? Of course, but the true reasons came out and quickly threw those people out.
