David Marcus: Occupy Wall Street is still hurting America
Fox News
Occupy Wall Street was incredibly successful in transforming the American left and the Democratic Part. But, 10 years after it began, neither care to celebrate it very much.
Occupy Wall Street was based on the idea that capitalism, policing, even America itself were irrevocably broken. It was an extreme, fringe position. Today, just ten years later, it no longer is. It is rather the core philosophy of the Democratic Party.
A short, incomplete list of how Occupy changed the political dynamics of America must include three things, income inequality as the main driving issue for progressives, the defunding, or diminution of policing, and race essentialism. Before the Occupy movement each of these were fringe positions in the Democratic Party, today, by and large, they are the Democratic Party.
The most successful slogan of the Occupation was "the 1% vs the 99%." Democrats had long been accused of demonizing the rich, but had also been firm in their overall commitment to the basic practices of capitalism, at least officially.
