While there are plenty of left-wing anarchists at these events, and more than a few idiots in Guy Fawkes masks, the occupation is clearly Left and socialist. The demands are for more civilization in the form of more regulation of greed, not less. The occupiers welcome converts from the Tea Party but it’s not about the “Liberty” that the great English essayist Samuel Johnson said was the “Liberty” of “the drivers of Negroes” in his essay “Taxation No Tyranny”.

The occupiers also encourage direct democracy but not destructive direct democracy in which you elect a politician who then dismantles public schools.
