Thats all well and good but your information and sources are 30-40 years old. The world has changed since the days of disco. Now, capitalism is out of our control and in the hands of psychopathic tyrants. So to bring up manifestos and sources from 1978 is not very good evidence of this evil communist plot to save you from illegal banking practices that came to a head a week agoedit on 29-9-2011 by doctornamtab because: (no reason given)

only in your dreams has the world changed so very much.
for those of us who were here then, it is much worse now than then by a loooong shot.
real capitalism hasn't existed in this country for some time now.
you comparing corporatocracy with capitalism is the saddest component of this entire event.
ppl over age 70 in America have not known capitalism as it's intended.
ppl under 30 have no conception of the perpetual communistic push in America since it was born.
for you to think the "illegal banking practices" began in the 70s shows you're totally incapable of comprehending the whole story behind, within and pushing this protest event.
since you refuse to learn the history, please quit pretending you have a clue

The distant origins of the WWP go back to the Global Class War Tendency, led by Sam Marcy and Vincent Copeland, within the Socialist Workers Party. This group first crystallized during the presidential election of 1948 when they urged the SWP to back Henry Wallaces's Progressive Party campaign, rather than field their own candidates. Throughout the 1950s the GCWT expressed positions at odds with official SWP policy, categorizing the Korean War as a class, rather than imperialist, conflict; support of the People's Republic of China as a workers' state, if not necessarily supporting the Mao leadership; and supporting the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution by the Soviet Union in 1956[2].
The World Socialist website describes its WWP comrades as being "dominated by the perspective of protest politics...and political opportunism"; further, WWP "openly backs the dictatorial regime in North Korea", and it supported "the Serbian nationalist government of Slobodan Milosevic." WWP apologetics also encompass the vile dictatorships of communist China, socialist Iraq, and communist Cuba.
Manik Mukherjee, co-chairperson of the International Anti-Imperialist and People’s Solidarity Coordinating Committee and a leader of the Socialist Unity Center of India, spoke to a gathering of political activists in New York City at the Solidarity Center on Sept. 19.
“A conscious proletarian movement will develop from within with the help of a Marxist-Leninist party. A revolutionary party will have to educate the people. This can only be done under the leadership of a communist party in India.”
“It is impossible to solve the problems of the crisis — to provide for health, jobs, environment, peace — while maintaining the same system we have today. We will need a system of peoples’ power like the soviets of the 1917 Russian Revolution.”
ARTICLE 118. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to work,that is,are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance with its quantity and quality.
The right to work is ensured by the socialist organization of the national economy,the steady growth of the productive forces of Soviet society,the elimination of the possibility of economic crises,and the abolition of unemployment

I feel like some youngsters have the misconception that communism is a grand social party that just throws their daily earnings into one big pot and live happily together.

Alex Jones will give a special live broadcast today at 2 PM Central with his analysis on the Occupy Wall Street protests that have been swelling for weeks. His worst concerns have been confirmed about the true nature of who has been steering the demonstrations.

Ok, so what would the form of government be called that WAS like this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ? Maybe we need to invent a new word so people who like to share things aren't confused as communists. *shrugs*

For more than two months, the privately owned Zuccotti Park has been jam-packed with thousands of protesters, tourists, journalists, and media camera crews. Local residents and business owners have complained that the OWS invasion has caused the 33,000-square-foot “pocket park” to become a magnet for crime and disruptive, unruly, and unsanitary behavior, including public urination and defecation, public lewdness, nudity, vandalism, assaults, theft, and illegal drug use.
