re the whole OWS is/is not similar to CRM…

CRM when? As the CRM in the last couple of years prior to the Act being pushed through congress? The period that kicks off with 1948’s Executive Order 9981? The period that preceded the Atlanta Race Riot of 1905?

I think OWS is the first organizational stage after a nearly century-long hiatus of an opposition to class calcification/inequality. As such it’s a poor thing to compare it to the CRM of the 1960s.
