Or just Google the title.

There's something ironic about somebody my age explaining how to use Google to someone younger.

"Organized people are the only answer to organized money". The most profound statement made in political thinking this century.

When asked, this is what the "ocupy movement" should have stated as its moral imperative. The categorical imperative is all details.

Bill Moyers showed himself to be a true leftist in that interview. Not that there was any question about that, but it's sort of pathetic that he's been on the public dime most of his life.

The vast majority of those taking part in the occupy movement had no coherency as to why they were protesting. It was everything from pro-pot legalization to GMO's and everything in between. It was pretty damaging actually.
 
What an unbelievably myopic "essay". It's amazing, well maybe not, considering the publication, that that got printed. There is so much wrong with that "essay", that I'll just leave it at this: If the liberal successes in the early 20th century were so great (i.e.Labor) then why would we need the same focus on those areas? If you have programs to end poverty and they work, isn't that the idea? If they failed then maybe your premise/strategy (i.e the govt can level the playing field by redistribution) was wrong to begin with.

I'l leave you with this gem from the essay....
