Not sure it was flawed. It depends on what the intent was.

If the intent was to build a groundswell of awareness and support, it wasn’t flawed. That it also built a vocal opposition was inevitable.

If the intent was to force the subject into the national conversation even when OWS wasn’t there, it succeeded. Romney’s had to address it, as has Gingrich. Obama’s referenced the subject. The subject of inequality is no longer an ignored elephant in the living room; everyone knows it’s there and most are willing to talk about it.

If the intent was to actually cause a change… wasn’t going to happen. seriously, I can think of no action the various participants could have taken to have had such an impact by this point in time.

It was certainly flawed if it allowed anarchist to take over. As far as intent…the road to hell and all that.
