[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 885974, member: 2189"] The benefit of a leaderless movement is that you can't cut off the head and kill the movement. A leaderless movement also means you can have multiple manifestos, multiple demands, multiple ideals, multiple points of attack, multiple strategies and in fact if you take the time to look and know where to look, there are in fact just that. The original Tea Party started out very much in the same fashion as a leaderless cause but then it became hijacked and astro-turfed and the concern now is that it could happen to OWS by operatives of the opposing political mythology. A former tea party operative has even drafted an [URL='http://www.reddit.com/r/occupywallstreet/comments/kyjo2/an_open_letter_and_warning_from_a_former_tea/'][COLOR=#ff0000]open letter[/COLOR][/URL] to that effect warning the OWS movement of such potential. As to the Brooklyn Bridge protests and mass arrests, well there's always another POV to consider if you are willing to consider it. As for the unions coming in, the days of real unionism of the likes of the Knights of Labor and the Wobblies are long gone and today's unions are nothing but hollow shells controlled by leeches who are nothing more than puppets of the political structure and the corp. oligarchs. If Anonymous hacks in Wall Street, this thing could get real interesting. This whole system might come down just as much as it's pulled down! Oct. 10th may be an interesting day to watch. We'll see I guess. [/QUOTE]
