Anti-corruption is the part of this that I do identify with. Reading discussions on the occupy wallstreet site where some are attacking capitalism and using all sorts of Marxist characterizations, I can't help but think those people simply don't get it, but even if their anger is misplaced there are certainly conditions in the states that warrant the public anger that's bubbling up. The real problem isn't capitalism or corporations though. The problem is how broken their democracy has become such that it is controlled by corporate and financial sector interests. The democracy has been corrupted and is failing, and that really is worth getting upset about.
