I would be a lot more receptive to criticisms of the occupy movement if the majority of them did not consist of:

-“YOURE ALL COMMUNISTS/PINKOS THEREFORE OCCUPY IS BAD”

-“Collectivism won’t work!”

-“My local occupy isn’t conflict free!”

-“Historically, (communism-collectivism-anarchism-socialism-marxism-keynesian economics-banking regulations-et cetera) has never worked, so you’re wasting your time.”

-“It’s a waste of time.”

-“It’s not leaderless, some people have responsibility”

-“I don’t understand the consensus model and I don’t like it.”

-“People who were very headstrong and charismatic took over the group”

Complaining about history doesn’t equate to a criticism of what’s happening right now. Complaining about your local occupy that you never bothered to participate in or dedicate any time to is useless. Complaining that other people filled organizational roles while you did not volunteer is useless.  Complaining that there’s conflict in your local occupy group and using that is a basis to disregard the entire occupy movement is fallacious; there’s interpersonal conflict everywhere— so why haven’t you become a misanthropic nihilist and written off humanity altogether?
