Of course, if you look at their 14 demands, they certainly aren't against the government or corporations. Instead, they want a lot of heavily left-leaning things such as universal health care, living wages, green energy, and 2 trillion dollars in stimulus. Then they throw in the real crazy stuff like abolishing all held loans by everyone. |
One can disagree with a bunch of them. But the current financial system is sitting on a giant bomb of debt, that stands to not get paid off. There is a biblical concept of the year of Jubilee, where all debt is forgiven. This concept is also seen in the area of bankruptcy today. Something is going to have to be done about the global debt bomb being sat on now. It is seen with economists that the large amount of debt on the part of Americans is holding the economy back, and that needs to get paid down. More on the concept:

Of course, the origins of the whole occupy movement was targeting the federal reserve and the world banking system. From this came out every single left wing protest angle of course. I would say better to vent with that, than without.
