Since the Occupy Movement has spread worldwide I have noticed one particular political group who has been trying to, and in some cases been successful at turning some of the Occupy branches into one-sided political platforms. Some of you already know what I mean.
From what I've read and participated in with Occupy, it's supposed to be a leaderless movement where everyone gets a say and they only move in a direction when all are in agreement. With some Occupy groups however, that is not the case. I went to one of the local "Occupy" protests recently and saw it being overtaken by none other than a group of Libertarians. Can someone please tell me what the hell Libertarians are doing in a movement that goes against everything they stand for? We have all heard, whether we wanted to or not, Ron "Corporations will police themselves" Paul say time and time again that Government has no place telling businesses what to do whatsoever. And seeing as how I have yet to see one Libertarian disagree with Ron Paul on this or any other issue, I'm forced to ask "What the hell are they doing here?"
Well, if you Google Occupy Wall St, Libertarians or Libertarian Occupy, you will find a million Libertarians asking how they can infiltrate and take over the movement and use it as a tool to further their own agenda. In case you don't believe me I've posted some links from my search at the end of this article. The YouTube video might make you sick though, especially the description.
I know Occupy is about people from all walks of life and politics coming together to try and fix our broken money driven system, but I wish like hell the Libertarians would just stay the hell out of it and stop trying to twist Occupy into a tool to bring about their view of America as their Utopia. And by Utopia I mean an even worse system in place than we have now or could even fathom.
