>>When I saw it, it was like someone transferred me to 1917 in Russia, rad flags, rad shirts, rad posters, angry faces, as I saw many times in the Soviet movies. The "occupy Wall Street" is the harbinger of what is coming.

Obviously you intend this reference to Russia in 1917 as an indictment against socialists. Have you considered that it is also a history lesson on what to expect if the 1% sees no reason to share or care for the conditions of anybody but themselves. Certainly Russia had no excuse for remaining a peasant economy when others were industrializing, inventing and progressing. Looks like a failure of Russia's 1% to me and if modern day 1%s don't snap out of it, maybe they'll go the same way, no doubt blaming angry peasants for the revolutionary conditions that those in power are too stupid/greedy to fix.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
