occupy broke teh taboo about criticizing capitalism in america. bernie further liberated us in 2015.
Occupy broke the taboo? You obviously don't live here. Plenty of criticism of American style capitalism long before Wall Street was "occupied." What you can't seem to grasp is all the rioting, looting, injuries, and deaths has set back your cause. If this is what you have to offer the world most don't want it.

Oh yeah. Criticism of capitalism. So taboo. So unprecedented. And Bernie liberated you. Jesus. You poor, oppressed, gated community, bottle-fed Marxists. LOL

Really? When and where were people silenced for speaking out against capitalism? Name all the college professors who were arrested or fired? We're in the mess we're in now because professors have been indoctrinating students with communist/socialist ideas for decades.

capitalism and freedom are 2 separate things. you cant call yourself free when you follow orders 40 hours a week.

The difference is, we are talking in terms of relative and you are talking in terms of absolute. We also have laws which prohibit absolute freedom like molesting children. That doesnt mean we're prisoners. Relative my guy, relative.

still doesnt mean you or most people are free.

i guess we live in a dumbed down culture so we dont really ask teh question what is freedom?
