Going home and getting a job would be tough in these times, so I agree.
It would be better to stay in the protests, free food and temporary housing, never any lines at the bathrooms, because there aren't any in most cases, holding out for a new government that provides everything for free, paid for by the wealthiest Americans would be a better option.

In your utopia where everything is leveled and equal, there is no top to rise to.
While it all sounds great, it just will not work with humans, someone has to dominate, be the best, on top, that is human nature, it is also the source for corruption and greed, and ultimately wars and violence.
When you think you've changed the world into your beautiful vision of it, someone, or some group will come along to destroy it, capitalize on it, exploit it and rule over it.

You can deny everything, but human nature is constant, consistent and ultimately entirely predictable.
Humans will never evolve beyond their nature... It is better to adapt a system that works with it than one that goes against it.
But hey, good luck anyway.

I really doubt that monogamy will be a good example of how human nature can be avoided.
Have a look at divorce stats, online cheating, and just plain cheating spouses... Really, you could not have picked a worse example... But it is a perfect illustration of my points, also repressing human nature gives rise to deviance and completely abnormal behavior.
You can change the world, you can change governments, systems, cultures, religions etc, but you will never change the basic human being's nature.... That will ultimately be the fatal flaw for all of humanity.
We will find ways to hate, fight and make war until????..... Violence is always the solution to everything, even for OWS eventually... One way or another.
The human-animal conquers all.
