The Perils of OWS' Cut-and-Paste Revolution, Part I
The Occupy movement has grown nicely. But, just as Mao found it necessary to adapt industrial-proletarian-based Marxism to China's agrarian economy with "Marxism with Chinese characteristics," activists are about to face the negative consequences of trying to replicate Tahrir Square in the United States.
