Occupy Wall Street Protest Names Single Enemy: ‘Neoliberalism’

"..occupywallst.org, the Web site for the "NYC Protest for American Revolution," announced that it has a single enemy that seems to encompass most of the wrongs the protesters are railing against.

That enemy is "neoliberalism."

"Over the last 30 years, the [top] 1% have created a global economic system -- neoliberalism --
that attacks our human rights and destroys our environment," stated the Web site."

 "Occupy Wall Street is a people powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations.The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Italy and the UK, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people who are writing the rules of the global economy are imposing an agenda of neoliberalism and economic inequality that is foreclosing our future."
