Max Berger, an organizer with the Occupy Wall Street movement, has some very insightful analysis of this movement and where it needs to be going, particularly in terms of its relationship with mainstream politics.
His conclusion:
The Occupy Movement would be derelict if we focused on the electoral at the expense of systemic change. The entirety of civic life cannot be reduced to a get-out-the-vote campaign. The left needs strategies that take aim at all the ways corporate-funded neo-liberalism breaks down our communities.
