This.

I've been in OccupyBoston this whole weekend, it was pretty awesome seeing so many people support it. Of the people I talked to, it seemed pretty much based around the reforming campaign finance so financial institutions don't get completely deregulated, so we don't have massive recessions like we did ~2008. There is some luddy socialism in their but it's just traces. It's more reactionary anger towards the recent butt-buddying of government/corporations, regardless of party.

BTW bunny, to me it seems like you are investing far too much time and effort debating political theory. Relax, nothing turns off people more than an angry person yelling politics.
