I was in New York during Occupy Wall Street and I remember being drunk in a cab one night and the cab drove past them and I leaned out the window and yelled "FUUUUUCK YOUUU."

Maybe your experiences are unique to you, maybe others would become more convinced of the ideology by reading more about it.

Maybe.

Some idiots at my university had their own little occupy tents set up (outside a dorm where they showered and ate hot food) and they called it Tent State. Like Kent state I guess which is in bad taste also they were retarded

our protestors had no idea what they were protesting but you could stop by a tent and have one discern your spirit animal for you.

I tried to get really drunk so I could puke in front of tent state and it didn't work :(

I don't believe political violence is acceptable but I think the closest it comes to being acceptable is if it is used against nazis or communists because naziism and communism are murderous genocidal criminal ideologies responsible for killing millions of innocent people.

in my experience it's extremely important to listen to the critics of communist countries, especially voices of those who lived under them.

we can only understand and overcome the failures and limitations of 20th century socialism by critically analyzing it for impurities like everyone does with their poop you see

this is why we must study it hard, study it faithfully, study it critically, & figure out how we can do better

the soviet union provided the wrong answer, but they were asking the right questions

i have my own personal theories about precisely where they went wrong, but i'll save that for anyone who is interested

I don't think the occupy wall street idiots were communists though, I think they were mostly just self-indulgent college-kid idiots with a sprinkling of chronic malcontent riffraff.

that's an interesting historical and psychological question, I'd love to hear what you think went wrong in the Soviet Union. China too if you have a theory about that

RIP Screamy You were too good for this world.
In communist countries everyone gets paid, but there's nothing on the store shelves for them to buy.
In capitalistic countries no one gets paid, but the store shelves are always full.

Maybe we can combine the two so everyone gets paid, and the store shelves are always full.

I did this and can confirm it works great. the trick isn't to change society on a fundamental level, the trick was to just get a good job under capitalism!

"Occupied" means that a place is being used. For example, when there are people already using a bathroom stall, the bathroom "is occupied".

"Occupy Wallstreet" is a slightly formal expression. A less formal way to express the same idea is: "I'm taking care of business in here!".
