A Brief Analysis from a Wall Street Occupier [a must read]

Click here to access article by Yotam Marom from The Organization for a Free Society. 

This is one of the finest pieces I have seen coming out of the Occupying Wall Street movement. The writer, who is an OWS activist and well grounded in this movement, knows of what he writes. There are so many gems in this article that I have no idea which one to highlight--so, I won't highlight any. It seems to me that the OWS movement is incubating a revolutionary consciousness which appears to be unstoppable. 

Capitalists and their enforcers are shaking in their boots, their political operatives are in a quandary about how to stop it, political liberals are trying to find ways to co-opt or tame it so that only reforms to capitalism are made, and leftists are often confused by its messiness. It appears that this writer is the latter who has undergone the process of this new movement and reached new insights as to what it means. Read it and benefit from his experience. 

After reading it, you might also be interested in another "best post" that I posted on October 25th entitled, "They Don't Get It".
