End corporatism by re-establishing genuine capitalism that makes participation fair and honest and orders a level playing field.

The value of anything anyone might say, for, or against the movement is to be had out on the street where the movement is taking place.
Commenting on developments and discussing ideas about what and where this movement is going, and speculating about what the 'real' reasons are for the movement are one thing,..

I don't think this is a final warning, but what will be a slow growing grass movement for change. A steady, but increasing beat of protest across the country by people that are tired and want a change.
One sure sign that the movement is making an impact is seeing the politicians who represent the 1% increasingly slamming the protests. The paid for politicians and talking heads are trying hard to make OWS appear as some type of communism movement or a bunch of hippies. Which is comical due to hippies not existing since the early 70s. Then again, they don't get out of their guarded and walled communities very often.

There are no historic basis for such assumptions. In fact there has never been a single case of such events in western history.
First of, the general ideas which communism are founded on oppose to the use of violence. Not saying that a communist couldn't be violent, but it is wrong to assume that this would be an actual tool to start a revolution. If you do wish to create a revolution in the mind of your fellow man, it would be highly inefficient to approach him with a firearm in hand.
Your hypothesis is not only wrong, but goes directly against all logical and historical evidence. It is propaganda.
To cut it out for you - Communism = Community = People living in harmony with one and other.
Trying to obtain this by violence would be not only counterproductive but downright stupid!edit on 26/06/87 by Mads1987 because: (no reason given)

This article says CPUSA wants to be involved and they are talking about nationalizing the banks, and I suspect this has been the goal of Soros all along

Keep in mind that we are talking about the chances of a violent communistic revolution in the USA. So as said in a later thread, the only places where we have experienced actual violent revolution has been in already corrupted countries, dictatorships and such - not in a 'peaceful democracy' like the USA.

The nationalization of The Federal Reserve is imminent. People like Soros benefit more when it's privatized. Stop saying that nationalization is somehow wrong.
