  6. “All over the world, the protesters of 2011 share a belief that their countries’ political systems and economies have grown dysfunctional and corrupt — sham democracies rigged to favor the rich and powerful and prevent significant change. They are fervent small-d democrats. Two decades after the final failure and abandonment of communism, they believe they’re experiencing the failure of hell-bent megascaled crony hypercapitalism and pine for some third way, a new social contract.”

  8. “It’s still maddening when every time they do a story, they go, “I don’t know what these guys want.” They’re seeing that people in the 1% have too much power and they use that power to influence politicians at the cost of the other 99%. It’s not that complicated.”

  18. “These protests are a function, honestly, of President Obama not doing his job. Because if he had changed those [governmental] institutions, if he had reined in the corporations, if he had cleaned up the corruption, there wouldn’t be a need for this protest. People wouldn’t be so frustrated that they’re out here on the streets sleeping on concrete and through the rain. President Obama, if you really want to show us you get it and that you feel our pain, actually do something about it.”

  20. “Occupy Wall Street is the best example of democracy in action we’ve seen around here in a long time. I’m inspired by their willingness to stand up and make themselves heard. I really hope it continues to grow and spread and inspires you, too. History shows pretty consistently that no positive change comes from people sitting on their asses.”
