The capitalist class, represented by Darrell Issa, is very much opposed to the concept of "the commons." Rather, the only alternative for the ruling elites is " the privatized." The occupy movement challenges this major operating premise of capitalism, e.g., the propertied have rights, the property less are given rights controlled selectively by the capitalist class. Class consciousness is the crux of the entire issue. The longer the occupy movement highlights the issue of class consciousness, the more the capitalist class will endeavor, by whatever means, to silence the 99%.
The problem with McPherson Square The story reported in Huffington Post today, is said to be "rats." When I was there in November, I found people working together to promote the central message of Occupy, the gap between the capitalist class and the people who must sell their labor to them. There may very well be rats in Washington, DC. I recommend looking elsewhere than Occupy DC.
