If you truly believe in communism and socialism then why would you use laptops and cellphones?

I see so many of these violent anarchists use the products of capitalism that it is hard to take them seriously.

No.

I actually believe that they are too stupid and ignorant to figure that out.

Do all protesters want communism? I believe they want to end the relationship between Wall Street and politics.

No. That would be the Tea Party.

If the Occupy crowd wanted to end the relationship between Wall Street and politics they would march on the White House and the Treasury Department.

You have to understand that a lot of the people there don't actaully believe the crap they are spewing. Most do it so they can be different. Sociologists call it the counterculture movement. The norms of this group are counter to that of the mainstream for that era. And yes there have been counterculture movements throughout history of the US. It is typically made up of young people but it is not limited to them.

They do, however, want socialism.

They are too dumb or ignorant to realize that obama received more Wall Street money than any other candidate in history.

Not to mention all of the Wall Street people who currently occupy his administration.

Do they want communism? The Tea Party wants (or wanted) less taxes.

Why would it? If the ultra right are so against these "socialists!" 'communists!" "anarchists!" "other scary sounding words!" why are they using and giving their funds by owning expensive computers, using software and other technology aspects to some of the strongest liberal companies like Microsoft and Apple?

They are far to brainwashed by the msm and obama to realize that.

Generators, pressure washers, hoses, cameras, washcloths, clothing, glasses, iPhones; iPads; Macs, Dells, HP's and no doubt they're eating from vendors who get the best prices because they go to the largest food suppliers.
