“Under the pressure of bureaucratic-statified capitalism, liberalism and conservatism converge. That does not mean they are identical, or are becoming identical. They merely increasingly tend to act in the same way in essential respects, where fundamental needs of the system are concerned.

It’s getting rather exhausting listening to people try to use the Tea Party rallies as some sort of check on the Occupy Wall Street movement in order to demonize it. While the Tea Partiers do have some legitimate political concerns, for the most part, they were and still are…

Or does this give credence to an ideology that is the opposite of what Occupy stands for?” Ron Paul and his pro-business, anti-labor, racist, sexist, and anti-immigrant politics are poisonous to the growth...
