I went to a few of the protests to watch, not really take part. It seemed to me that they had a crazy flat purely democratic structure (or unstructure :P). So much in fact that they couldn't decide on what to focus on or how to move forward.

A lot of them also seemed to not understand how our financial system works.

Yeah, I agree about the street protests themselves were pretty dysfunctional, that wasn't really what I was talking about. The protests were really only the tip of the iceberg at the time. There seemed to be a much wider focus on the gaming of systems and regulatory capture (mostly) by a financial industry that pretty much seemed to be just a state protected tool for money farmers.
