I've addressed some of your question in my latest post: What's Wrong with 99% Spring.

The biggest problem is a faulty analysis and faulty premises about the nature of the economic crisis, its causes and solutions. I realize that progressive and leftist are 2 different things and both are nebulous terms.

Bottom line is that if we want to get the bosses or the ruling elite to listen and change policies in our interests, we have to threaten them where it hurts most: their profits. Occupying space, in and of itself, won't do this, unless the space is the workplace and the occupation involves not working (i.e., a sit down strike). Yet even this will only provide temporary relief. As long as a ruling class exists, it will bend and compromise when necessary to maintain its wealth and power and then recoup and attack when conditions are ripe again.
