<> My slant was merely that resentment runs deep and that looking at <> things from the bottom up offers a somewhat different view. Consider <> the public worker saga in wisconsiana.

Yet from the bottom up these <> are the same people who staff the punitive/vindictive social services <> systems (education,health,corrections,welfare,childcare, law <> enforcement) which decimate or at least oppress the black community <> daily. Until there is more than opportunistic solidarity coming from <> these folks and by extension ows-ers, one has a hard time seeing why <> we need all get with the occupy program on its current terms. Don't <> get me wrong, I'm all for a true anti-capital orientation, I'm just <> not sure this manifestation of ows is heading there over the long <> sweep.
