The critical comments of people responding to the "Occupy Wall Street" events separate into two different categories. One, we don't recognize responsible leaders, (meaning, I suppose, the ruling elites are not in charge.) Two, they contend that we lack credibility because we do not present coherent demands. We don't formulate demands. Such activity would necessarily imply that we want the ruling elites to fulfill them while remaining in power. No. That is no longer possible. It is time for them to go. We have goals but not demands. Demands imply that there are responsible parities out there who can accede to such requests. This is obviously not the case, be it Wall Street or political parties. There is no such beast. It has gone beyond liberal negotiation and educational efforts. Radical action is called for. This is a revolution and in it leadership is flowing from the bottom up, not the top down. And ... I am just speaking for myself.
