[quote name='Punk Rock Geek' timestamp='1317506271' post='94402'] [b]The Marines are Coming to PROTECT the Protestors of Occupy Wall Street[/b] [indent]October 1, 2011 – TAMPA, FL - The Occupy Wall Street movement may have just received an unexpected surprise – United States Army and Marine troops are reportedly on their way to various protest locations to support the movement and to protect the protesters. Army serviceman Ward Reilly posted the following on Facebook, “I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress: I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn. My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the [effing] Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.[/indent] http://stevebeckow.com/2011/10/%E2%80%98the-marines-are-coming-to-protect-the-protestors-of-occupy-wall-street/ [/quote]

That's because none of these people are anarchists, they are whiny liberals and smelly hippies with drum circles texting their way to mediocre stardom.

I think you summed it up well there PRG. I quite like Stefan Moleneaux though, particularly his videos about peaceful parenting.

I understand that you're wishing to use government to stop corporations in the short run. But you're asking the very people that helped these corporations become such big massive oppressive establishments to then stop them from being so oppressive. Your asking a bunch of people with guns that are funded by oppression and corruption.. to stop oppression and corruption. It just doesn't make sense to me :/

I don't think anyone is asking anything. These are demands, not suggestions. The government isn't going to change because it wants t...

Neither does stereotyping an entire crowd as "whiny liberals and hippies". Yellow journalism at its finest, Floyd.

Like, I'd definitely say they were out there with a good cause and amazing intentions. I just feel like they're going about it in a rather counterproductive way. They're asking for the government that's sicking cops on them and arresting and beating them...to solve their problems. Oh, and who would help carry out their wishes... those same cops!

I'm sure since he's an Ancap that he's not very popular here, but what he says there makes a lot of sense.

That's not true. The event was organized by anarchists and many people there are anarchists.

https://www.occupywa...wall-st-moveme/ If these are the demands... I want no part of this, this will all give the government WAY more power than it has now. All this protest seems to be doing is demanding more government expansion. Seems a tad weird for Anarchist..

Those demands are from the forum. They are not official. The only "official" demands are the ones I posted, and they include seizing the workplaces collectively and creating a people's revolution.

But...

True story: at the solidarity protest meeting there was a drum circle playing so loudly that we couldn't hear and we had to move to another park lol.
