Well I didn't make the statement, that would be someone with personal knowledge of both situations who came up with that analogy (although i did paraphrase). I agree that at the basest of levels both are about change, but that's not really saying much. If you distill anything down far enough you can find a common denominator.
Like I've said repeatedly, I don't disagree with a lot of the aims, but the means started out as a mess and have just gotten worse as time has gone on.
