Old Men Hate Occupy

As well they should.  The Occupy Movement was dead dead dead for sure this spring when it didn't return after the winter.  The only hope they had was to come back, come back to a physical presence in New York and everywhere else to force the confrontation, to force the coverage, to force the issue.  Had they done that, Occupy may have had a chance to congeal into a coherent movement, with real ideas and that elusive real plan, but when they failed to return and force the establishment to confront them with shocking state violence, they were dead as a fucking doornail.  Next time, Cockburn and the rest of the old guard will not keep their powder dry and will demand that any new movement come ready to battle the establishment and not merely be a circus.
