The thing about Occupy is that it is in a formative state. None of us is stupid enough to think that any of us has all of the answers. Go to a General Assembly and see how it works. The solutions are cropping up, few and far between sometimes, but they are there.
However, just because none of us has the idiocy to think that we have the answers, we all know one truth which is self evident. Shit is fucked up.
We also know that working within the system is what has
not worked for the last 50ish years. Shit has gotten consistently more and more fucked up. You don't have to be a political theorist or leader type to understand that.
We've recognized that in a system which plays the people against itself (two party system) in order to achieve policy goals which none of us want (when was the last time you heard a libertarian or a legitimate old school tea party-er say the military budget was a good idea?) via a complicated shell game which doesn't offer us any chance to direct the flow of this country, the only way to change anything is to uproot completely the powers that be, and install a new government in it's place.
Shall I type the relevant portions of the constitution and the declaration of independence for you, or are you going to agree that you're a fucking moron?
