I know that. Which is why I say they were fascists - government controlled, not people controlled.

Wow.

I see all the symbols of communism AND socialism on the signs of the protesters (not all of them but a LOT of them) so I doubt that these organizations would sit-out a golden opportunity to spread there influence among some of New York's less intelligent youth.

Unions, communists, and socialists support OWS, but that doesn't mean OWS is necessarily about unions, communism or socialism.

David Duke supports the Tea Party. Does that mean the Tea Party is a white supremacist group?

You claimed they want communism. I don't see that. And socialism differs from communism. So come back when the movement officially states that they want a communist system.

I see so many of these violent anarchists use the products of capitalism that it is hard to take them seriously.
No. These people are just misguided and they are short sighted, they are morons.

Socialists are just compassionate communists.

The occupy movement was STARTED by the typical lefty organizations who have drafted regular, lefty college kids into the movement.

The Tea Party movement was started by regular, middle-class individuals then usurped by the typical right-wing organizations.

That is the difference.

What does any of this have to do with my post?

Your ideological blinders are on so tight, I'm surprised you can see well enough to type. Buh-Bye.

What do you mean , "Drafted" ?

If you have some evidence that these people are being forced to protest, then spit it out --- or else stop with the agitprop.

Yes it makes them a hypocrite, They complain about corps yet use their products and sometimes even work for them. Put your money where your mouth is. Take a stand
