Capitlism would/should let businesses that fuck up go out of business. Occupiers should be railing against their government for allowing those businesses to be bailed out. America has been drifting further and further from what capitalism is. But the moron occupiers have a disturbing lack of knowledge of American history and understanding of political and economic theory.

Umm, are we both talking about the same Occupy movement? Because the OWS I've seen is against government bailouts of failing banks. Plus the system we have now isnt free market capitalism, nobody is allowed to fail.

Most people are allowed to fail - just not automakers or banks.

Yes. Look for my earlier posts about what I've seen at Occupy San Jose. Just this week I've had conversations with sign holders that said "The private sector has failed.", "This revolution won't be privatized.", and someone (cant remember his sign) wanting the government to provide all means of employment bc unemployment is caused by the private sector; they were advocating for MORE government involvement.

Maybe occupy sj is out of touch with the rest of occupy, I don't know. But the occupiers here are usually holding signs that contradict eachother, they are just too stupid to realize it.
