Or seeing clearly through all those artificial fogs created by the wealthy and powerful.
Occupy Wall Street is fine just the way it is. If there is anything wrong with this effort, it's with those observing it and not the participants. OWS is getting what has eluded protesters on the left for decades. KISS (even at the expense of complete accuracy and clarity). 100 people protesting for a 100 days is more difficult to ignore than 10,000 for 1 day.
The rightwingers and one percenters have always known that they're outnumbered. That's why they scream louder. It's the only tactic they have to artificially boost the numbers they don't possess. Sometimes (in the US most times), it works. Sometimes it doesn't. This may be one of those times when it doesn't.
The danger to OWS is that it can take too long for “Johnny come lately” to see the light. For all the "Johnnys" to over-value their experiences and knowledge and dismiss the passion, intuition, and vigor of youth. To err as profoundly as Chalmers Johnson during the 1960's when he denigrated the anti-Vietnam War protesters as, well, too young and unschooled to understand. He did finally get it. Decades later:
"As it turned out, however, they understood far better than I did the impulse of a Robert McNamara, a McGeorge Bundy, or a Walt Rostow. They grasped something essential about the nature of America's imperial role in the world that I had failed to perceive. In retrospect, I wish I had stood with the antiwar protest movement. For all its naïveté and unruliness, it was right and American policy wrong."
And went on to write three of the most important recent books: Blowback, Empire, and Nemesis. Better than what most of those who supported the Vietnam War and/or opposed the anti-Vietnam War movement did later. Better still would have been to stop the US war machine way back when it was long past the point of being obviously out of control. That was the larger picture that went totally over Johnson's head until decades later.* Past the point of no return if he got in right in “Nemesis” because most Americans still refuse to get it.
OWS need do nothing more than wake and shake up 70% of Americans to the fact that the rich have been getting richer for decades and they have been getting poorer and/or less economically secure. That it's political and not personal. That the 1% have 99% of the representation in federal and state governments and unless that's reversed, change the people need is not possible.
OWS has taken on the most difficult task of all. Americans, in the numbers needed to initiate real change, tend not to rally together except for wars. Even when it's an issue of the health and happiness of themselves, their families, and their communities. Piercing the veil of decades of corporate propaganda doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. OWS is doing fine. Getting broader, wider, deeper day-by-day. For now, all the “how to fix-it” voices (aka “what OWS needs to do”) should kindly STFU for without first full public attention, the space and support for the possible will remain impossible.
An aside: How the bleep did yet another Democratic POTUS get yet another “Free Trade” Deal of, by and for the 1% passed?
*(McNamara's late in life mea culpa that “we” didn't know we were engaged in a civil war is a complete lie. Most of those “naive” anti-war protesters knew at least that much.)
