What about the revolt in Greece against austerity imposed by Berlin-Brussels?
Forget this lame hipster logic of "I was into this band before they were famous".
The point that Carrol is trying to make is that this is a global revolt. The emphasis varies slightly according to geography, but it's the same struggle.
In Europe, the particularity of the struggle is the struggle of the Mediterranean periphery: Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Italy -- above all Greece -- against Berlin. OWS have made victory in that struggle an actual possibility, however faint.
