'Battle for the soul of Occupy':Activists fear being 'pulled to the right,' becoming Democratic pet


Another C&P, except this:
You got to be careful of those RW groups like MoveOn.org, Rebuild The Dream, AFL-CIO, United Auto Workers, CODEPINK: Women for Peace, and The Ruckus Society.

I am just going to bring over the whole thread to date-

1. I think the biggest issue here is that...

...the new entries believe in utilizing the political process, whereas the core-group in Occupy seems to believe that both parties are irreparably corrupt, and want to focus on building a completely new political and ecnomic system from scratch.

3. It would be nice if OWS told us what this new political and ecnomic system would look like

beyond the usual platitudes. The bigger question is how they intend to reach that goal outside of the political system.

2. Code Pink just led a Drone Summit

very critical of Obama's drone policy. Did not pull any punches from what I saw. The other groups are a different story, although I've never heard of the Ruckus Society.

It's absolutely a valid concern, the interests of Occupy and the Democratic Party are not the same.

4. Most 99ers will remain

center or even more to the left although I'm pretty sure that you will have the likes of moles from the RW to infitrate the movement of course in order to discredit it for the 1%. The 1% have the money, a lot of money.

The Ruckus Society is an ultra- uber- far- left domestic terrorist organization.
This idiot is calling them a right- wing group?

I doesn't seem like Occupy Something movement needs infiltrators to discredit the movement.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Like most DUmmies, it didn't take much.

He already had a head start.
