Personally, I actually don't think the movement is anti-capitalist (atleast not the main representative groups - fringe elements, maybe). I think it's more anti-cronyism and a call to regulate an industry that unfortunately put America in the proverbial toilet where it is today (that being the finance / banking industries). People are mad at the back-scratching / closed door activities going on that benefit only a select few at the expense of many. That said, I still don't think their message is clear enough. Wall Street is a symbolic protesting area, but Washington clearly would be better.
