A symptom of "massive" government that needs to be downsized so that the 1% can have more benefits for themselves. I find it odd that more police officers are not sympathetic to that point alone.<br /><br />You are absolutely right. Where has our country gone for police to treat their own citizens this way? The are suppose to protect and serve us, just like the politicians who are suppose to be public servants.

In these conditions the task of the vanguard is, above all, not to let itself be carried along by the backward flow: it must swim against the current. If an unfavorable relation of forces prevents it from holding political positions it has won, it must at least retain its ideological positions, because in them is expressed the dearly paid experience of the past. Fools will consider this policy “sectarian”. Actually it is the only means of preparing for a new tremendous surge forward with the coming historical tide.--Lev Davidovich Bronstein<br /><br />http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/oct2008/stal-o20.shtmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512669.post-63756864237063020972011-10-15T05:51:45.859-04:002011-10-15T05:51:45.859-04:00Tthe One Percent are apparently surrounded by nitw...Tthe One Percent are apparently surrounded by nitwits without a firm grasp of history, or 'yes men' sdvisors who know history but refrain from telling their employers about it. In 1789, King Louis XVI's court, the One Percent of its day, ignored the needs of the bottom 99 Percent and spaked a revolution that did not come out in their favor; in 1917, the clueless and distant Czar Nicholas II's Russia was ruled mainly for the top One Percent at the expense of the 99 percent who were peasants and, again, the results for the aristocracy were not to their liking. Unfortunately, in the early part of the 20th century, the monarchies of both Germany and Italy fell, replaced by fascism only because the liberal democrats did not unite to oppose them in time. That does not seem to be happening here with the OWS, I'm glad to say. To quote Laurence J. Peter, "History repeats itself because nobody listens."

I don't know if he makes enough at the NYT to be considered one of FDR's 'Economic Royalists' himself, but he definitely lets no opportunity to kneel to them pass without his avid participation.

Clashing every moment with the bourgeois laws themselves, an unbridled assertion of unhealthy and dissolute appetites manifested itself, particularly at the top of bourgeois society—lusts wherein wealth derived from gambling naturally seeks its satisfaction, where pleasure becomes crapuleux [debauched], where money, filth, and blood commingle. The finance aristocracy, in its mode of acquisition as well as in its pleasures, is nothing but the rebirth of the lumpenproletariat on the heights of bourgeois society.”--Karl Marx, shortly before the 1848 revolution in France.
